    prefered static climb lines.

    It depends on how you look at it. If you want the most efficient system, go with the PI. If you would like a little bit of oops factor built into the system, go with the bluemoon. I can say from riding on both (and both for over a year each) I prefer PI. The bluemoon has got too much stretch for...

    Petzl Shunt

    I'm in the process of designing some gear and have hit a road block. I think the shunt would fit the bill but i have never had a hand or truly seen one in action. Reading only gets you so far. Does anyone have a shunt for sale, trade, or borrow? If i like it enough i might buy one but don't...

    Teufelberger's new Platinum rope!

    Re: Teufelberger\'s new Platinum rope! 10.5mm seems a bit small for the hands. The cover gave it away for being a kernmantle static type rope.

    traverse of the north gully at 'The Chief'Squamish

    Re: traverse of the north gully at \'The Chief\'Squamish That's a pretty fricking sweet video. I wish I had some opportunities in my area for some crazy stuff like that. And some other crazy people to do it with. Got any extra pictures of your anchors from both sides?

    ITCC Rope Wrench Submission

    Any idea of what were the missing components you needed to prove? Also too bad about the time frame. Better luck next year.

    All positions

    Re:hiring 4 All positions.. Great place to work. Lots of equipment to make your back feel better and a great bunch of guys to work with. The safety culture is great and everything is done with class. This isn't a place where you won't see your boss. Paul does go out with the crew every now and...

    Some SRT and rigging from this past week.

    Nice video. All I got to say is, there is a lot of need less one handing. All of those cuts could have been done with two hands on the saw with no problem.

    Large Eye in 8mm Beeline?

    Re: Large Eye in 3/8 Beeline? Ya, I'm with banjo. To me there isn't much a reason to make such an item but the fact you have the material laying around. The girth hitch will abrade the large eye to some extent. Bee line is a cord that's meant to be used in high heat situations. If there...

    I just ran over my gear.

    I've got a few Kong items I still want to get rid of and that sounds like the perfect way to do it.

    Rigging "shortcut"?

    Re: Rigging \"shortcut\"? [ QUOTE ] In the real world, I have found little advantage to negative blocking with a carabiner at the termination end of the rigging line. I can tie a running bowline in my sleep, with either hand, behind my back, upside down in less than 6 seconds. (Underwater too...

    A big thank you to the Longwood Gardens arborists

    Haha right?! I'm trying to figure out who is what nickname. Everyone I've met so far is a stand up guy and they know their stuff.

    A couple of recent jobs

    I love the little chipper and big removals in england. That's a sweet little combo. what do you do with the wood? I'm assuming fire work. Nice work and good to see the wrench bombing around.

    What's more physically challenging, and why?

    Re: What\'s more physically challenging, and why? Ugh, non-crane assisted removal is probably harder for me than pruning it. Probably take me twice the time but I would get it done. A location is probably in order; wide open field or tight residential access, something like that.

    Good thing it wasn't flaming, I think I need to try that.

    Slow uptake

    I've never used that product, but have done a bit of injecting myself. Both macro and micro. Are you using the helix drill bit that is fairly new? if you don't use a super sharp bit it can cause issues with the phloem and xylem. I'm not sure of the exact science behind it but it might be...
