    The Goods

    Rock Exotica RockO. Those things are great and the gate never fails to operate as it should. I also like the reverse action of the gate lock.

    Anybody with a helmet to sell?

    I think I am going to bite the bullet and order a new one. This will appease the safety nuts I will be climbing with. Thanks for the advice.

    Anybody with a helmet to sell?

    It is for rec climbing and the occasional climbing job. I was just checking to see if anybody had a spare or upgraded a still good helmet.

    I made a ring loop and a secret weapon with 8 and 10mm op and it worked out well. I did not cross the tails in the bury.

    I can't help you with ice tail. I did make the same thing with 8mm OP and it worked great. It was not easy but it is doable.

    If you are having trouble finding directions you can do it another way. First find out what the rope is made of. Poly/poly or poly/other stuff. If it is a traditional double braid made of poly/poly then you can use a generic class 1 double braid splice. If it has other stuff like technora, look...

    Your post reminds me of this podcats. https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/ten-thousand-years/ It is about how to warn people of danger 10000 years in the future. The best method: mythology. Why? It works. Regardless of weather stepping on rope is good or bad, I will continue to follow my...

    ever mount a chipper & chip box onto a trailer ?

    Make sure you build this rig with some serious trailer brakes on each axle. This will save your ass, truck and trailer on a wet day. It is better to have more brakes then you need most days and have reserve power for a quick stop then to be pushing your brakes to the limit every day.

    I love the Hammond organs. I used to have a desk I made out of the bottom of a Hammond C3. It would have made a good sewing table with some mods.

    As a building inspector I will tell you to follow manufacturers instructions. As an innovator I try what I feel is safe and test it low and slow. 1. Follow manufacturers instructions. 2. Follow manufacturers instructions. 3. I would not use a double braid like that. It might work. I would...

    Gear question

    All good points. I want to add that a hitch climber pulley would work very well here. It can be attached and removed in seconds and gives you three attachment points.

    I use it with the masdam rope puller. It works great. It was my first climbing line many years ago. I would hate to climb on it now but I would if the situation required it I would.
