    rope runner pro

    Hello Hello, just thought I’d put my 2 cents in on the Runner Pro. It kicks ass. Never seen a device so keen on letting the climber scramble about while it gobbles gobbles gobbles up slack. Long and smooth jumps with gentle landings. Footlocking feels like there is no device between you and...

    Roger that on the rings. Makes more sense to me anyway as it brings the climbing device closer, also allows use of the lower rings when spiking.

    It definitely does, will keep an eye on it, but more interested in making it look as cool and understated as Rico’s (failing) !

    I just tied up some thin cord between leg and back pad, on each side, similar to the Treemotion, see how that goes.

    Got’cha, but guessing that the pads will still rotate under there own steam, was wondering how to fix this. Not up and down but circular control.

    Hi Steve, I love mine too, will have to get a second one instead of keep switching this between harnesses ! What’s wrong with yours, mechanism is pretty straightforward , must be an easy fix ?

    Yes, exactly. 4 or so parallel strands.

    I realized a couple of things about the rigging on the Side D, firstly, the multiplication of turns on the line and increased friction because of it seem to keep everything from moving around, which is obviously important but if you ever did need to change the i) position of D ii) length of hip...

    Hi Dave, long time no speak, hope that all is well with you. I opened the link to see a little sailing block, you’ve got me there, would you mind elaborating for my slow mind ?!

    Any reason that brand is suspect? it has a rating and what seems like numbers pertaining to a standard, a quick on-line check should be able to squash the uncertainty. I took the Valiant out for a two hour rec.climb (between these recent deluges, 2020's rainy season is giving its...

    My pads arrived today, spent a few hours in the workshop fiddling around with scavenged gear. I really liked Rico’s colour way, black/silver, but I couldn’t make it like that. I found enough gear to make up a test rig, a sketch, if you like. I started with the back pad, using an unusual...

    In that video Matt uses a Cow Hitch terminated with double over hand stopper knot that blocks against a webbing 'tunnel'. I plan to use 9 or 11mm 16 strand and hope that a straight bury is possible through the 'tunnels', this is fantasy at the moment, time will tell.

    Ai, right to the heart of something, that sounds. I gotta ask, do you adjust the length of the leg and hip risers much, I prefer mine to be dialed in and locked down tight, only ever ‘adjust’ when something slips.

    Hi Rico, thank you for the feedback, a couple of questions, the clip and ring please describe more of this ‘old west coast perfection’, how do you use them, does the clip hold the chainsaw high so no need for a hook type thing higher up on the harness? your set up looks great, hope to keep all...

    rope stretch when falling on MRS vs. SRS

    A single length of line will stretch more than one that is double the length but has been doubled over. within lower peak loads the stretch is activated faster, Samson have data on this shown in their Rigging Peak Force Calculator thingy that looks like a wheel, it shows that thinner rope (less...
