    Approved Mechanical Devices

    The ce is a system tied with a specific hitch cord on a specific rope tied in a specific way. Once you do anything outside of that it's not ce anymore. But in the world of competition climbing there is a bit of common sense about it in that regard.

    You missed a lot of the drama! It wasn't until the rope wrench got a ce cert was it allowed. I have no idea about the apex thingy.

    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    I find it interesting that as his ear got nipped he was talking about how he wants to purge perhaps 20 million people from the country. Pretty much a speech right out of another politician that survived an assassination attempt or two...

    Chipper radiator deep cleaning tips?

    I was worried about Bending fins, but I didn't have any issues with it. Clean as a whistle when done. And really fast too. Big cloud of dust and gunk and done.

    “Rope Only” Canopy Anchor??

    Had an interesting talk with an rescue woman, rock and mountaineering etc. She told me in that community backup half hitches and Yosemite have fallen out of favor because they are not easily inspected and the backups can be confusing, especially the Yosemite. Now the protocol is simply leaving...

    “Rope Only” Canopy Anchor??

    Bowline on a bite is a knot of its own. Bowline WITH a bite is simply a Bowline tied with a bite and is the canopy anchor that I use most often. I find a butterfly very impractical.

    Looking for a Rock Exotica DownRigger!!

    You can tip tie branches over the lines or gutter and manually pull them up and away, or give it enough pull to put a face cut and steer branches and then lower them with control. Petzl and harken make one way ratchet pulleys that are also effective for this.

    Looking for a Rock Exotica DownRigger!!

    I had many bouts with strep throat when I was younger. I had a particularly bad case when I was around 20 and went to the doctor who recommended I get my tonsils out. He left the room and the nurse who was Indian told me that removing my tonsils was stupid and I simply needed to brush my...

    I dont see why anyone would ever want to part ways with theirs unless they had too many.

    I had not heard of the fall in The comment section of the article. That could be a different scenario.

    It is only something you could do with a collapsed runner. You are bassically holding your runner open via the rope, like you would a unicender top. With a wrap.

    I dont really even think about it. I like dragging tail with my runner. It is why there is a pulley there. because i like dragging tail. . If you know about it, its not a problem. If you don't know about it, it could be a problem. Any sort of deflection such as an accessory biner...

    I've played around with it, I was able to recreate it. It's the speed of the rope. If you let go slowly, like you would with one hand, the runner stays disengaged but your hand is on it. you quickly reach full speed and the Rope is moving 3 times faster than your falling, you can lose...

    So the accident that caused this particular notification, as far as we can tell, the climber dropped through a redirect and had his hand on the tail, he was in fact lowering himself on the 3:1. In that configuration the rope is going through your hands three times as fast as a 1:1. The runner...

    Climate Change

    Greenhouses gases are real though. That's just basic science. Daniel shares Michael shellinberg saying that he believes that manmade CO2 makes the world hotter but it's no big deal we can deal with it or not. Don't be afraid... cool. But then Daniel says that it's all a scam and it's just...
