The U.S. (I am not proud to say) is lawsuit happy, I would rather stick with a product that has a...

    I hate ladders

    I agree with masterblaster,my brother in law will not be able to get all of the hardware out of his leg until this fall. He only fell from four feet but landed on the edge of the turf and pavement. Give me a rope and saddle keep the ladder!

    Valdôtain tresse vs Knut...

    I wonder if we could get congress to have an emergency session on this thread.Maybe even get a federal injunction to stop the use of new hitches until a ruling on the best hitch is released.Sounds like a good use of our tax dollars.

    Problem With Body Thrusting

    Re: TinMan, Take a nice afternoon and set your line, tie the hitch you like, and just get the technique down. Footwear is a big issue, some grip better than others, large heals will cause you to wrap closer to your toe. Plus every hitch is a little different and react different to different...

    Popular Descending Gear???

    For personal use I would stick with a figure 8. About the only time I use one is during SRT on a spar during a removal. I'll always decend on my climbing hitch. But if your looking to have some fun with repelling talk to those rock climbing guys.
