    Trango Cinch

    Hey guys, I have been thinking this for a while now, how is the cinch an OK work positioning device? The most common place I see it used is on a climber's lanyard. All literature I have read about the cinch is that it is an assisted belay device. The user guide fairly clearly spells out that...

    Stihl Masterwrench

    Has anybody gone through the stihl masterwrench training? Is it geared more towards a knowledge of stihl products or small engine repair? Seems like it could be a good investment to train some crew members to maybe a silver level.

    Hey guys, Attached is a really good looking euc at a clients house up in the hills of Portland Or. So, slightly out of it's hardiness zone. Is there anything I can do to help prevent cold damage? I was thinking using a growth regulator could help by making cells a bit thicker.

    Impressions of the Teufelberger Platinum

    So far I like it! Low stretch, although not as low as Sterling HTP, but way less than KMIII and all other climbing lines. The rope has almost no memory, meaning that when a knot is tied you don't get any weird kinking after, like with some other static lines, and after it is weighted it doesn't...

    Rope reviewing system

    Talking to The Colin Bugg at the gym today we were questioning rope reviewing systems, such as the sherrill tree table. Both of us found this table to be highly variable in stretch percentages and actual size of the rope in hand. I have also noticed that some ropes when they are broken in lose...
