    ISA and religion

    Haven't been to many man. I'm not an ISA member yet, and don't plan to be any time soon right now. Only events I've really attended are comps. But overall, no, I haven't seen too many inclusions of prayer in those.

    ISA and religion

    Religion should never enter an ISA event, whether it offends people or not, ISA is an organization about trees, an international organization at that, with people of all faiths and cultures part of its ranks. When people start to lumb religion in with it, be it because of peer pressure, or ones...

    Jim Urban seminar: Up By Roots

    The full workshop is good. Dad and I went to one in TN, think it was an 8 hour workshop. Very in depth about soil and trees in the urban environment. Lots of cool, good ideas presented and talked about, and the science behind it all. Jim's a good presenter, enjoyed the workshop as a whole.

    Ruling on self-splices & Tree Climbing Comps

    x2, until an official splicing certification pops up, there's really no way they can call one person 'certified' and another not. I love splicing all my own gear, trust it all day long. And now that I know how to splice, there are some so called 'certified splicers' who's gear I would not climb...

    Rope Wrench Pulleys

    I wouldn't be concerned about the contact at all, only time I'd give it thought would be using a hitch cord like 8mm Bee Line or HRC, where the eye splices are the exposed core. The core doesn't have the same heat resistance, but it's still fairly high. Just something to keep an eye on. But with...

    Technical Advisory Committee

    Consistency would be great, it's the biggest thing I've noticed that seems lacking here regarding this issue and the ITCC and ISA.

    Footlock ascenders?

    I liked the CMI Twin Exp when I foot locked doubled rope. The single handle is actually a lot better for foot locking, the other ascenders were more of a pain for me, not as stream lined and harder on my wrists. I see Viking already posted the review I did on them, thanks man!

    Lockjack vs. Sportjack

    I've tried the Wrench with a SportJack/LockJack when I worked in Central Park. Another climber there was rocking it DdRT with the ART Rope Guide and we thought we'd give it a whirl. I found it didn't engage and hold your weight unless the wrench was fully engaged. Also, all the benefits of slack...

    SRT Trunk Tie Off/Safety Concerns

    Re: SRT the Flaw? Basal ties are as safe as you make them. I use a basal tie 80% of the time right now and feel perfectly safe. I work with my Dad and one other guy and I've gone over with them numerous times about my basal anchor and they know to stay away from it. No one goes near it with a...
