    Edelrid Rope

    Been climbing on poison ivy for the past 4 years but always like to try out new ropes as they come along. But I always come back to poison ivy based on it's 1.8% elongation.

    Spiderjack by ART

    I purchased it last spring hoping to try it out and try to work it into my normal climbing over my HRC but I just don't have the time or patience to really get the hang of it. Without a pair of riggers gloves I reallly couldn't fly and zip around at my normal speed. So that being said I figure...

    Tree Top Games

    Just was wondering if anyone gets together and plays around up there? I have been trying to get some tag going on but I am never able to get enough people together.

    Flying Handsaw

    Was just another day of pruning at this large job I have been at all week. I was using a throwball, thrown with one hand, to get out a hanger. On about the 3rd try I had whipped it up but a loop had formed and caught my handsaw that was on my leg. It tossed the handsaw up into my arm and then...

    General Life Span for Gear

    I was talking with a few buddies the other day at work about how long you should use your climbing equipment. I told them after a year of daily use a rope gets cut up and then is used for tieing down ladders and such. They hit the roof and where saying at least 3 years they are good. So I...
