    Simple throwline stainless-steel wire mod...

    I use a nail and a butane torch. But it is really easy to get stuck in the rope when it cools down and "welds" inside. My friend Devon uses an electric knife that heats up. His method works way better ;)

    Old growth climbing in BC

    HOLY S**T. That exposed giant is one of the coolest trees I have seen in my life. Amazing photos man. I am jealous of that climb!

    Simple throwline stainless-steel wire mod...

    Hey guys! I am too lazy to do this to my throwlines but when a good friend of mine showed me this I was pretty impressed. Basically he takes a stainless steel keychain wire with a screw-release and hitches it to the end of his throwline. He then covers that in heat shrink. What this does is...

    Yup, subbed. I have a bunch of lunch time videos to watch for a while now.

    Overnight climb in the middle of nowhere...

    Hey guys! I haven't gotten to climb for a few months because my family and I were living in our van traveling the country. But I am back in a real house again and I decided to dust off my gear and head out for a tree camping trip. I found this secluded wildlife preserve off of a gravel road out...

    MN Tree Camping on September 15th

    Yup! Currently we are planning on camping in a wilderness near Cannon River. I have climbed and camped there many times so we know we won't get into trouble. Probably a 1 to 2 mile hike with some bushwacking.

    MN Tree Camping on September 15th

    Hey, if anyone is interested in joining in on a big overnight group tree climb send me a PM. Right now there will be between 4-9 other climbers. All of us are rec climbers mostly with rock climbing backgrounds but would love to have some veteran arborists show up. The climb will likely be...

    Batman Goes Tree Climbing...

    I wasn't sure how many people would catch that part. I laughed SO hard when he said it. Batman deserves all the credit. Everything that he said was improvised on the spot. Haha!

    I had an interesting climb a few days ago. Words really can't explain it. Check out the video above.

    Details of a white pine woods climb

    Moss, why were you climbing the tree? Work? If so, what is your job? (Sorry if you explained this part in the video, I watched it without sound.) And thank you for the releasable anchor tutorial!

    Small rope swing while climbing a 110' beauty :D

    Fantastic! I always think of prusiks as a "backup" but I need to change that. I may indeed have to play with some prusiks. The issue with my 9mm HTP is that I have yet to find any prusik knot that will reliably bite without getting stuck.

    Small rope swing while climbing a 110' beauty :D

    Not yet. Next time that I go out climbing and the weather isn't too hot I plan to make a short vid. 1- The top ascender is a Rope Man 1 with a foot loop. This is pushed up while simultaneously lifting your left foot (which is in the foot loop). 2- The middle ascender is a Rope Man 2 with a...
