    DIY Epple hook

    first impressions: so-so, although this has trial has already proved to me that hooking is awesome. I need to get some 3/8 kermantle to start doing full tree-to-tree transfers, but flicking a hook out accurately to a crotch for better positioning is super-handy and makes you feel like...

    DIY Epple hook

    One of these things looks much like the other. $40 CAN for the pair. As they are never life-support I have bought and will trial in the coming days.

    Tree Motion or monkey beaver?

    Hey Rico. Old thread but I'm shopping for a new saddle and wondered if you'd tried the Evo over the S-Light, and if so, if they fit differently for your frame. Given the saws you haul I was slightly surprised to read you had gone with less padding. Because of ride or extra weight? I like you...

    All I can think is that a) it's terrible line, and b) everyone but you and I have sponsorship from AB. Hey AB! Hook us up!

    double-whipping boy

    howdy, for obscure reasons I have never found a crystal-clear resource covering a negative rig double-whip setup with rings and/or blocks to control and lower large chunks down one face of an isolated stem. No doubt vids exist but alongside whatever you might link I would benefit from a pdf...

    I'm tall so it's an easy adjustment -- maxed right out. Transferring weight to line part of the new strategy for sure.

    Ahoy hoy. As the thread title suggests, I just had a bad experience with a new-to-me pair of Gecko aluminum spurs, but given their immense popularity and how light they are I'm hoping the fault is mine and seasoned hands can explain why. Backstory: Last year, as a new climber I bought some...

    climbing slick wood

    Also fair. My climb-line was not aiding me at all. Being my first euc I hadn't anticipated needing it as an aid for more than security, then got caught out as described.
