    Which Knee Ascender in 2022?

    So when I do get my ascenders, both the regular SAKA and Foldable SAKA will be available as well as the Mini. (Now not so 'Mini' compared to the Foldable) The difference between the regular and the foldable is that the bungee can be pulled from directly above the ascender allowing it to be...

    Which Knee Ascender in 2022?

    I'm sorry but it has been very frustrating with the delays delays followed by more delays. Being a small company and not having huge order volume, I probably fall to the bottom of the stack. I know I've said it several times before but I do believe, I'll have them out in a month.

    RRP Tending

    Yep, we want our multicender to do nothing and just be "along for the ride" on the ascent. The chest roller, like putting our toes up against the trunk of the tree when we can, also makes the ascent so much more efficient. IMO, it is just very important that a climber understands the IMPACT...

    RRP Tending

    The RRP is below your chest roller? Is it possible for the bungee to snag on the Bird?

    jamming knots

    Agree and not picking on the tests as I'm not sure we are testing stopper knots or bridge configurations. A bridge also has an angle vector force, side Ds or lower Ds may be at a 90 degree, putting 1.41 tension on the bridge at 50% for each side. I guess my point is, make the test a fair...

    jamming knots

    "AGAINST" I'll try but stopper knots are truly very useful. Don't use them if you need more than 50% or the rope strength. (Could be said for any knot) Don't use them if you can't tie them. ( For example, Double Overhand, Stevedor, or Ashley stopper knots for termination or Alpine Butterfly...

    I'm just a bit of a stickler for keeping the chest area clear, a trip forward off our perch can prohibit our devices from engaging. Some more than others.

    Well to be exact it is not a Quickie and not a shackle but is called a Swing Arm, minor difference I know but it is different. About sit-back, I find it not to be an issue. I make my ascent then sit back, so a few inches out of 50 feet is not significant. If it bothered my I will take the...

    What do you see as the advantages to having a combined connection for life support anchor, SRT tending point and SAKA attachment?

    I'm happy to refund the 255.00 you paid for it if indeed it is unused. Just send it back for a full refund.

    ...Either design a couple plates or something that would more positively hold the metal in place. I have found that if you try to build it with wood, it will scorch most woods. Maybe a good fire started concept too, LOL. Anyway, hope you understand my reluctance there.

    Hey, if it is progress in the area of understanding, why not. Looking at things, I understand the concept of putting the cordage thru the rings to try to create some squeeze and friction on the rope that is automatically applied depending on the weight of the climber. Personally I would be...

    Always "inclined", that's my problem. Anyway, I'll PM.

    What can we learn from this fatal climbing accident?

    So here is my take away from what you may be looking for. Ever work in a shop or how about working with a chipper? Remember the information about not having loose clothing, wearing a harness at the chipper, having anything that can get snagged? With that in mind I think the same guidelines are...

    But it would be nice to be a gymnast though, my muster only gets me so far.

    A question about maneuvering into a tree...

    One more tip for getting thru a steep rope angle branch union, don't. So this is not so much for initial ascent but at times one may drop thru a branch union on a limb walk and then need to come back to the trunk. It is a little like chasing a prusik. When you climb back up to the branch...

    A question about maneuvering into a tree...

    I agree with @moss, use the tools you have and your lanyard will be your friend here. Also remove the tending point momentarily so it is not keeping you up against the limb you are trying to pass. After getting your lanyard on the limb you are trying to pass, and you have loosened whatever...

    I apologize if some think I came here to be "mean spirited". I was asked from my YouTube channel to check it out and express my opinion. I tried to do that. Again, my apologies. On to other things.

    Sticht Hitch

    You can take this anyway you want and I'll leave your thread alone. If anyone can find that "holy grail hitch" you will. Keep it up. So this Tenex hitch was the closest I was able to come to building a system out of a textile hitch. I have used it to demonstrate the required components in a...
