    Two Rope Climbing

    When you climb on two runners, do you feel like they kind of get in each other's way? What's your bridge setup like?

    Two Rope Climbing

    That's a really interesting idea. When you carabineer the two ropes together, do you then need to tether the carabineer to yourself somewhere so that the carabineer follows you as you descend or move around the canopy?

    Courant Kalimba

    It's actually an 11.9mm double braid. I've been climbing on it for the past few months and quickly fell in love with it, but it's not cheap.

    Courant Kalimba

    For those that have used Kalimba, what's the closest rope you've found to it that isn't Kalimba?

    Two Rope Climbing

    I have yet to set a second rope from the ground. So far my procedure is to set one rope, ascend to my tie in point, get that situated how I like with a soft 8, set a second tie in close by with some sort of canopy anchor, and go to town. I have 2 bridges if different lengths on my saddle, each...

    Two Rope Climbing

    I think I agree with that logic. Someone told me recently that if something happens to one of your anchors and you happen to have two, you're still probably going to have a bad day. Positioning and navigating the tree to me are also where the positives lie.

    Hitch Question

    I love climbing on a hitch, but I've been really noticing a problem I've been having where my hitches don't seem to want to set when I put my weight into them unless I manually push them up the rope to "activate" them. One of the things I love about mechanical devices is that I don't have this...

    Two Rope Climbing

    Has anyone tried climbing on two independent rope systems like (to my understanding) they are "supposed to" in the UK? I'm not trying to sell anyone on it. I've just been playing around with it recently for my own reasons and am curious if anyone else has. If so I would love to pick your brain...

    Accessory cord lock stitched/whipped into core?

    I've seen a few people form a loop made out of accessory cord, and somehow splice it into the core of a non-spliced end of rope. This little loop of accessory cord is only used to attach a retrieval ball onto, not for life support. Could this be done by simply pulling the core out of the end...

    Danner boots for climbing

    To be honest, I don't think I've ever sprung for an American made pair. I'm not the type of person that's going to be oiling my boots regularly to make them last long enough to pass on to my grandkids. Their less expensive boots have (almost) always been good enough for me. I spend $200 or so...

    Danner boots for climbing

    A few reasons. Finding boots that fit me well is like finding a needle in a haystack for me. I've had a few other pairs of danners that have fit me well. The job I just got requires us to have safety toe boots. I've had a few pairs of Salewas that I really liked, for what its worth, but they...

    Disenchantment with the industry.

    I ended up finding employment at a public garden as an arborist. I feel really fortunate that I get to be in a slightly different corner of the industry, and still be able to do what I love.
