    Rope Runner

    So I've been shopping for a rope runner lately, and I've got to say that the colors currently available are offensively bad. I don't care too much about how gear looks, but I care a little, and the "jubilee" color scheme is just so so ugly. I actually ordered a RR from Gap thinking it was plain...

    I trust my gear, it’s the wood I worry about....

    For people who get nervous taking tiny tops in conifers: try breaking a Christmas tree in half. You'll need to be about 2 feet from the tippy top to come close.

    Treemotion customizing

    Quite the photo shoot you set up there, Swing. I'm actually going to be readjusting mine today so I'll take some photos once I do. On that note, take your time getting the adjustments dialed to your liking since it makes a huge difference. Once you're sure you like what you've got, add some...

    Kask visors

    Everyone is different, but I don't even think about 60 dollars for sunglasses that I pretty much just wear driving and walking the dog. Compare that to my safety glasses, which I wear for hundreds of hours, and which keep my eyeballs safe, and which are always perfectly attached to my helmet...

    Kask visors

    Sorry, it's called Cat Crap and it's a goggle de-fogger.

    Kask visors

    I liked the kask visor far better than safety glasses, but less than the protos mesh visor. The kask visor fogs up in the rain but not usually from sweat, so I found it helped a lot to use Cat Spit on the inside and RainX on the outside. Mine never got too scratched up since I was always...

    Can you use the OG Rope Runner for MRS?

    Do you know why that is? I thought I remembered hearing that a while back. Something to do with it getting stuck open?

    Can you use the OG Rope Runner for MRS?

    I mainly climb srt, but need to be able to do a little bit of mrt when working with cranes.

    Can you use the OG Rope Runner for MRS?

    I'm currently shopping for a mechanical climbing system primarily for SRT, but once in a while on crane jobs I need to use MRT and would like my mechanical to be able to switch back and forth. The OG Rope Runner looks like it ticks most of the boxes for me but it's not explicitly described as...

    Tips and Tricks

    Any tips for chunking down firewood from the spar? The cool guys on YouTube can always cut straight through a piece and leave the round balancing on top of the spar, but when I do it I usually get pinched before the cut finishes.

    Retrieval line

    Usually whatever rope I was using for rigging. I have a ditty bag with 150' of 6mm cord but I hardly ever use it since a rigging line is usually closer at hand and a lot less stretchy.

    foot ascender on your climbing spikes

    Lol thanks, I guess

    foot ascender on your climbing spikes

    The closer you are to danger, the further you are from harm! Since the ascender holds the rope and inch or two behind the spike, they are usually kept mostly separate. Plus, the same motion that would drive the spike into your rope is the same motion that makes the ascender grab.

    foot ascender on your climbing spikes

    Sorry to bug you, but can you take one that's in focus? I've thought about trying to do something similar but it didn't work very well, so I want to see the details.
