    Rigging rings as snatch blocks

    I used to be solely rigging rings. As a crew we decided we like the consistency of blocks and rings combined more than just rings. Personally I like how light rings are and I'm comfortable leaving them in a top of a tree and bombing it out if I want to avoid going back up to it. Someone...

    Another home made lowering device

    The smaller barrel will lead to more hockeling / add more twists to your rigging line as you go. Looks great for a half inch line. Nice work

    Ongoing self doubt/fear

    Conversely, now I am a company owner with a guy who has half a year's climber experience working for me. It has been a challenge to find times on jobs where I can stand and not do other job tasks, while the slowest climber in our group of 3 climbers does something I'd do in 1/3 of the time. But...

    Ongoing self doubt/fear

    I went thru it at times in my first years. And to me first years means the first 5. Two things that helped me : finding opportunities to watch someone more experienced (like good experience, not someone who never died doing it wrong for 20 years), and slowly, tree by tree, safely pushing back my...

    Wrench looking kinda device, the Apex.

    The adjustable bollard, if that can't be replaced I feel like they will get worn thru causing someone to need a whole new one. Maybe that isn't true I guess time will tell. As a person while loves the innovation in our tools, this is a neat advanment in thus style tool. As a person who admires...

    using a 24 strand for both single and double technique

    The only points I'm arguing that were previously said, because i think it's important to clarify, is that it's nonsense that srt is safer in that someone is less likely to blow out a tie in point and that it isn't in fact better for your body. I'm in full agreement that it takes less effort to...

    using a 24 strand for both single and double technique

    And just like a bike, that lower gear may not be as fast, but what does it make it for your body?

    using a 24 strand for both single and double technique

    Tell me what's easier on your hands and elbows while keeping your rope under tension while returning from a limb walking; a moving rope system (2:1) or a stationary rope system (1:1)?

    using a 24 strand for both single and double technique

    I'm not sure. I've never watch a talk about someone's research comparing rope walking and slack tending ddrt vs srt vs jogging. Only ones comparing the climbing techniques. And the information was pretty neat. Same was the way they did the studies

    using a 24 strand for both single and double technique

    And I appreciate and respect you opinion. I don't doubt is based on years of you're own personal experience. I've been on the buzz for 12 years and always read what you have to say. Don't always agree but i definitely don't discredit your words.

    using a 24 strand for both single and double technique

    I got my info from a talk done at tcia by Phil Kelly. Sorry I can't site the link for the research. Am I mistaken that foot ascenders and knee ascenders are allowed to be used for ddrt or is that something you're not supposed to do because it's ddrt? I don't care you've been doing it for 39...

    using a 24 strand for both single and double technique

    There are ways to turn your 1:1 stationary rope into a 3:1 when needed so there's definitely options. This is something I love about stationary rope is that I feel like I have more options, though I've seen more and more creative moving rope redirects and ways to stay on rope when passing...

    using a 24 strand for both single and double technique

    Ropenwalking is definitely easier than using your arms, as mentioned. But that is not an debate about moving or stationary ropes, that's about form. Rope walking in ddrt is easier on your body than srt. Facts. It's been researched. But we all know it takes longer. A long ascent is definitely...

    using a 24 strand for both single and double technique

    It has potential to have a lot more impact on your body with every step you're taking. First off the opinion that ddrt systems are based on your upper body is just that an opinion. You can certainly be using your legs. Second, where is the energy going when you rope walk on let's say a static...

    using a 24 strand for both single and double technique

    Man I'm sorry but this is just not an accurate statement. Srt is harder on the body and people are just as susceptible to blowing out a tie in using srt is just as easy if not easier. We just think it's better because it seems faster with the 1:1 movement. There are things it does better, and...
