    Cambium / Friction Saver necessary?

    Hello ! It seems appropriate in three regards to use a cambium saver when climbing SRT. The first two are easy to understand and it was why, simultaneously in the north and south of France, two climbers cut a figure 8 belay tool in half and girthed a sling to it. The worlds first retrievable...

    Moss Cinching Lanyard prototype

    That’s novel and I think that most lanyards serve just a couple of functions when actually there are loads of potential applications and ways to rig them. I’ve added a video showing my spur climbing hard/soft hand lanyard with a novel take on the working end. For the cinch setting it can be...

    Communication and why it is the most critical safety factor in tree work and tree climbing in general

    Hey Moss, I'm so sorry to hear about this and hope that your eye is healing, just so shocked. I plan to visit Eric in November with a couple of Japanese climbers and would be stoked to meet you if things could fall that way. All the best.

    TAZ Lov2 video

    You can use the Lov 2 as a descender AND fall arrest, it has both certification but you will need two devices to run both options. Sorry that wasn’t so clear in the vid.

    SRT ropes article

    The thinner cover is compensated by the tightness of the braiding and high strand count. I guess I wrote that in the article though ! I still have not tried Yale's 'Scandere', am interested to see how much stretch it has.

    DSRT(S) canopy anchors

    Here is a strange one from a few years back, used it a couple of times when I was into cinching rings. The Blue Rope is the main system and the Orange (Platinum) kinda piggybacks onto it and allows canopy retrieve once the bight has been slipped by a groundsman. Around the same time as this I...
