    ARLO's garage sale

    Hello guys (and girls). I am starting to get rid of a lot of the hardware that I have accumulated over the years, and am going to start putting it on Treebay. For many of these items I am going to part with them for not much more than postage because I want them to go to somebody who can put...

    Hey guys, I was making a friction saver yesterday and decided to create a simple table that shows the measurements that I use for making friction savers of different lengths in 16-strand ropes.

    Splicing Tachyon

    Hi fellow splicers. For years I have had an instructional video on Youtube that gave instructions for how to splice Tachyon based on the old modified double-braid method. It had lots of views and worked ok, but was a real bear to do the final bury. I realized recently that my video was...

    Vega Eye Splice

    I have done several eye splices with Marlow Vega using the method recommended by Marlow and found them quite difficult to pull through unless you get everything perfect. So I decided to try some spLIFE splices with Vega and found them much easier to do. I had two of them tested and they broke at...

    Edelrid Woodpecker Splice

    A friend recently gave me a couple of 200' pieces of new Edelrid Woodpecker rope, which is an 11.7 double-braid that is much like Tachyon in that it has 3 additional strands inside the braided core. I was not particularly impressed with the thin, wimpy splice that Edelrid uses for this rope so I...

    Chest Rollers now available at ONRope1

    In case you have not heard, BMS single chest rollers are now available at OnRope1. They are not as pretty as the ones that Rock Exotica and PMI used to make, but they look to me like they should work just fine. For anybody looking to avoid wear-and-tear on your shoulders and elbows when doing...

    SRS Redirects

    I have been experimenting with different SRS retrievable redirects of late, and of the four I have tried so far, the one I like best is the one demonstrated on Youtube by Timberwolf in 2015. It is incredibly simple and is easy to rig and retrieve. If you have not tried it, here is the link to...

    Old Jumars

    I seem to recall that somebody on the Buzz was looking for some old Jumars? I have two pairs that I bought many years ago and that never get used anymore. If you want them, make me an offer. I am not looking to make a lot of money on them - I just want them to go to a good home where somebody...

    Where do you Shizll?

    I just started using Shizll's on some of my gear and am curious about uses that others have found for this little piece of gear other than as a lanyard adjuster? I have found that they are perfect for adjustable QAS's as in the picture below. I used to use a micro-pulley to advance the Blake's...

    Throwline Reels

    I am a self-admited gear junkie, always looking for better widget. For years I have used fly reels to store my canopy throw line when advancing in big conifers. I have used the little self winding jobs as well as the big high-capacity spey reels and I always end up busting them. My last one...
