    KM iii max with Akimbo

    There is a spring in the top bollard. I just don't see it doing much. I don't understand why there isn't a spring loading the whole top half. Is it true most people have the best luck with the top adjusted a few tighter than the bottom?

    Rookie's experience with Hyperclimb

    No didn't hurt it, I seen some discoloration and didn't want to burn it up cuz I only have a couple eye and eyes. I used it last night, milking the hyperclimb and got another 10 inches in 3 passes. I'm going to remember to order some friction cord by the foot

    KM iii max with Akimbo

    Braved the cold and wind trying to get the new akimbo dialed in to some broken in Samson hyperclimb 11.7, 195# with loggers on. By no means a final verdict but best setting yet is D/2. May not do the next job with it as primary multicender but it could see action as a secondary device. The...

    What set up works well to climb in the wet?

    I'd second the zigzag chicane for being pretty unstoppable in wet conditions, even stands up pretty well to sap.

    Rookie's experience with Hyperclimb

    Yeah I was being cheap I went a few pulls with 8 mm armor prusik but seen considerable damage so switched to the three strand that I don't use anymore. I just received my akimbo so I'd like to firm these ropes up.

    Rookie's experience with Hyperclimb

    I'm not getting the same results as everyone else from milking the hyperclimb. My most used yank appeared to be getting a little baggy so after running down it in one direction with a prusik of old three strand 6 times I only achieved about an inch of cover empty at the end. The rope obviously...

    KM iii max with Akimbo

    Thanks for the encouragement, I'll hold off on ordering some xstatic. I have a few Hanks of Samson hyperclimb 11.7 that should run nicely. If not xstatic and fly seem to be the go to ropes

    KM iii max with Akimbo

    My akimbo gets here tomorrow and I've already got anxiety from reading people experiences. I had all intentions of ordering a unicender, but the design of the akimbo was too seductive.

    I bet it's going to Waterbury, Connecticut. Once the bum pays you. When did you get it? Looks like a little rust on the lower bollard? I'm about to get some of that mechanical lube for my devices.

    Rookie's experience with Hyperclimb

    I know the hyperclimb definitely looks better in the purple "cool" variation compared to the funky salmon orange "hot" style I bought
