I don't have any 10s right now, I've only got 12.5, 11, 9, and 8. If no one else gets around to it before the next cave festival I'll test it then, but that's at the start of may
I've got mine and I like it so far. Nothing special on 11mm but it's running like a dream on 8mm ultra tech. I'm rope walking just like any other srt system. It's tending point kinda sucks, I've found my favorite way is to run my bridge up a little longer and clip the bottom of my bridge swivel...
I've used one, I had it way too far back on a custom adapter tho
(Kinisi in small only has 2 tool carrier slots and I need both carriers). The piece itself rocks, I was borrowing the one I was using, but I've since made a new adapter that will let me use it in a more forward position, just gotta...
I get the cyanosis and rubor really obviously, my skins not as white as the hands in the pic and my fingers don't go white like that, but my cap refill goes to shit
@Merle Nelson like I needed another reason to want the new hotness even worse
Well I tried the handwarmers as suggested, and by 3pm my fingers were warm! It coincidentally was up to 50° by then tho .
@Boomslang im starting to think i might be in the same boat as you. I was bundled up super well in wool and synthetic layers today, my core stayed warm (except for the hour...
I've been looking at some of the heated liners since I go through a pair of leather gloves every couple months, if the handwarmers work well I might eventually move to an electric pair
It's pretty late this year because it was in the 70s all November (a sign of the anthropogenic end times for sure, but I can't say I didn't enjoy it ) but the time has finally come where, even when moving around in my normal hybrid leather climbing gloves, my fingers are going numb .
Anyone...
Rope twist. We often have intermediate anchors on a single vertical section in order to keep out of waterfalls, or away from delicate formations, or to protect our skinny ropes from abrasion on the cave surfaces, so having devices that produce a twist in the rope is a no go.
I used to climb in a sentinel size one which is also an edelrid manufactured saddle, it was a bit too big for me, especially the position of the upper D's when on spikes way waaay too far forward. I've been in a size S kinisi max since early summer and it is so much more comfortable of a fit. I...
As a regular user of skinny ropes outside of the tree environment I have to say that I think the right choice of skinny line would probably work fine for the down leg of a base tied system. In caving we typically work in a MUCH more abrasive environment and we regularly use 8mm single lines and...
There's tons of crossover! If I'm not mistaken cavers are the originators of srt and what they figured out in the 60s has become the basis for the majority of modern rope access.
First you kind of need to understand that there are two very distinct schools of cave rigging: Alpine style (thin...
It looks like a zubat handle, idk if they're compatible, but if I have to source a new handle and scabbard it works out to be about the same as buying a complete 240
I have a gomboy 240 that I used for a while, but I wasn't vibeing with having to fold and unfold it constantly. I did really like the 240mm length tho.
