    climbing hitch?

    Try the XT.... pretty much the same as the VT but doesn't need to be set, at least for me. There is pics some where on TB. I've found it to be quite a bit more reliable and can even get it to self tail when I have enough rope under me.

    Possible stupid question about Certification

    I'll be writing mine sometime this year. How did you find the test? I wrote the exemption tests for the schooling a few years ago while I was at fleming. I think they were the one of the most poorly written tests I've ever had to write. The wording was horrible and hard to understand. Wondering...

    Possible stupid question about Certification

    The incentive is part of it. I registered some time last year and remember the lady saying once I right my test I get some money. Booya!

    climbing line

    Hey Leafguy I've found it a nice change from PI with the wrench, I had to adjust it slightly to allow for a half inch line. Nice and smooth !

    climbing line

    I've been climbing on the new vortex for about a month now and I'm very happy with it. Been switching between Ddrt and SRT and found it nice to have a bit thicker rope to grab when on the wrench.

    Lanyard Storage Suggestions

    I recently switched to a longer lanyard, approx a 20 fter, as I wanted to try it out. I have to say that I like it a lot more than a shorter lanyard. I do a fair amount of crabs and apple prunes and its nice to be able to use my lanyard rather than hauling my climbing line around a little tree...

    Lanyard Storage Suggestions

    I use a ditty bag for my lanyard- around 20 ft. At first had problems with all the rope coming out until I tied a prussic onto the rope and attached it to a loop right above my ditty bag. If you need more rope pull some through the prussic. Works pretty good for me.

    Rope Wrench Feedback?

    The RW is awesome I have a short tether... so when my VT is set the wrench is about 2-3 inches above the top of my hitch and I'm using beeline for my tether cord. I'm ascending with a pantin and handled ascender+footloop nice simple and quick. You get other the fact that it isn't midline...

    Chanisaw Pants in Trees
