    Without hijacking @treesap’s spurs post… Okay hear me out! There is scattered info all around and not a specific category for strictly Spur, Gaff, Spikes talk. Many of you have been working for years as well and I thought maybe some kind of group ideas, tips, tricks, methods and techniques...

    SPIN 1D Surprisingly useful 1 way pulley

    It is a great light rigging pulley, meant for hauling and lowering, it gives good controllable friction and you're not fighting to haul the working end back up. Similar to the rigging wrench. Works great as a speed line/highline anchor really well, you can take up slack between pieces easier and...

    Crazy Idea! Merge a ski boot with gaffs?!?!

    Had an idea about this for years, the pressure would be more evenly distributed the boot could be a little more ankle flex and a bit taller. Heck it could even have multiple spikes. Got the idea watching an ice climbing documentary. Dumb idea? I dunno. Someday I’m gonna cobble this idea...

    Rescue scenario chat

    I’m in Hawaii and we end up doing a lot of coco palm trims. Whilst aloft I witnessed a fellow climber on a coco approx 40ft with 20° lean, 10-15mph slightly gusty winds( a little on the high side of normal) on ascent, climbing with wire core flip line. gaff out, swing/roll to the underside of...

    Cinching spar anchor

    So I made a thing. Based on an adjustable friction saver concept. Seems to work pretty good. Setup is slower than more traditional SRT spar methods but works pretty good. For conifers, palms or single spar it works really smooth. You can even leave it on the line for regular canopy till the...

    DMM Rig V-rig idea. Thoughts and feedback please

    This is something I concocted with the older version zigzag. I haven’t climbed on it like this, heck I’ve only used a v rig once. I’d normally do second system if needed (getting into the right positioning is more positive) feedback and thoughts appreciated. I took a quick video but not sure how...

    Double bridges?!?... Reasons?

    I’m not yet convinced it’s a worth it except for getting nailed in the junk with the second ring. Anyone using it and what for. Am I missing something? I’m srt rope wrench/hitch climber and ddrt zigzag or hitch climber.

    Petzl Adjust as a lanyard?

    Any thoughts? Replace line with longer Tritech maybe. I use one for industrial climbing work position but have played with it and seems like it would work great as a lanyard adjuster.

    SRT canopy anchor with Texas tug.

    Srt canopy anchor Here’s my idea on retrievable canopy anchor. I’m calling it the Hamel PA tug. (Ring loop and a revolver carabiner) based on soft 8 srt install by country boy PA and added a Texas tug. Lemme know what you think. I’ve set it a few times and have yet to get it stuck.

    Ring and rig friction saver from pulley saver

    Added the "Rig on a loop" to a fimblesaver. Just playing around with random things I don't use much. . Also using a "ring loop" that looked useful but I've yet to use....
