Yes. The weight is split between the two ropes so half is on the bone. I used the km max three days ago, while using the brass bollard, and it holds awesome. I will climb with the km max 111 and a blue water 11.2 tomorrow on single line with new bollard and post. I will get a weigh in weight...
Hello I tested it this morning on the single rope on a 9.6 black diamond. Iwas able to undo the top ascender and the foot Ascender and the dog bone held until. I did some moving around and it started creeping.
I tested it the other day with a New England KM 111and it held and that's an 11 mm line.
Morning all, went out and just did a single line climb on the black diamond 96 was able to get up off the ground on an assent, lock the bone, came off the upper ascender, came off of the foot ascender and the bone heald the 3/8 rope. I moved around and it started to creep. If I put chalk on...
I used my New England 11 KM 111
And it worked like magic. Bit in tightly. Released smoothly and controlable.
I had other ropes in the past were unuseable and had my doubts I would be able to use them in my dogbone so I tried them out from my second story porch. Did
Multiple climbs and...
I am wondering if an older tree could be affected by a sodium vapor light. I have an old live oak that is dying. The owner had installed a SV light right under its canopy.
I am wodering if it effects it lenght of light cycle and is killing it.

Swun from the high deck trying to make it give. Had it ,rope...
Thanks. This tree is having one of its spurs die. It has many but the spur that is dead is above where the foam comes from the bark. I climbed it today and the outter bark is soft and the cork and pith is not strong and tight. I cut some of it hut the owner feels like it will com back to life.
Would love to see that system. Always interested in new tricks. Send me a pic or a video of how to tie the knot and "the rope wrench". Did some climbing today with a foot and hand ascender. But did have to gaff to clean all the gear I hung in the tree. I was able to successfully pull my...
Has anyone ever seen this type of foam coming from the lower portion of a live oak during a rain? Was wondering if it is a sign of a blight, fungus, or root rot. Any help would be appreciated
Thank you, Tim!!!
I have seen some amazing videos of climbers using new tech gear and one thing I see is that the most impressive style and freedom I notice is people usiing Gordon's tools. Had to try it. Have been a gaff a flipline cutter out west where the safety briefing comes in two...
