    Value of Certifications

    people become very dangerous when they have a little information and not a working understanding of a matter.

    Value of Certifications

    I have always been on board for the education ( that you can have or get regardless of having a cert in hand). As from the employee side of things, listening to an employer tell you that they want you to have the cert and how important it is to the company.... yet, unfortunately their words of...

    Value of Certifications

    This is always an interesting topic to me and admittedly one that will piss me off from time to time...... pride may be a big part of that..... I always get asked to take the Cert Arb test because it is such a big step and "will open doors" and the best one, "will earn you more money an hour"...

    ISC D4

    It was the gear that broke on all occasions. Year the MPD. I like the MPD but it really only dumbs down a device to the lowest denominator imo. It basically reinforces that thought that rescues have to be team played when we know that’s not the case. Again though, I tend to be harder on subjects...

    ISC D4

    Other then the panic lock the only other thing in my mind that has stood out is on a heavy load side of things ( like a rescue or heavy rigging) . As I am sure you have noticed with the I’D or the Rig when you have a rescue load on and you go to descend (with extra friction) it can be a bit...

    Mystery Lowering Device/Winch?

    Like what was just mentioned I only have concern for dynamic loading ( saying the Harkin is attached in the same manner to the plate as it was when I used them in industrial climbing.) Otherwise, I loved this. We called it the SkyHook out there ( that was the retail name given for it) but I...

    Best study material for IPM and PHC is........?

    Looking to hear what guys/gals that have been down the road of IPM/PHC have found to be the best material worth studying for the tests and what not was for them ( besides the obvious of getting out there and doing it with someone). Thanks in advance.

    Social media. Is it worth it?

    Something semi on topic with this but interesting/funny when I think about it. I recall years back when Facebook first hit the scene for the general public to use there was a conversation about it here. It was asked who uses FB for there company website/presences online? ( or something to that...

    this is what happens when you tip tie a large vertical limb

    It will happen eventually.... poke a lion enough it will bite. I can attest to this. But at the same time , when it happens over and over to one person there is more to it

    Introducing the Wrist Rocket Ascender.

    Its interesting about going numb when going to bed. I will lose feeling in my arms withing minutes some nights and I am dead sure it is the reason for having such bad sleep at night. Nerve damage is a son-of-a! One thing I wish I had when I started climbing is the climbing tech of today, and...

    tree stuff, its been real....

    Actually yes I would personally speaking. Imagine a world that does not want accountability... if someone’s feelings are hurt when someone voices their displeasure(s) with a service why is it then the person that has payed for a services fault (or them being in the wrong) when voicing it. If...
