Hey Ben, great video as usual. I've been trying to figure out what you're climbing on, seems like your hand ascender gets a good workout. Got any pictures or an explanation of your climbing system?

Very nice Ben. I'm thinking it is about time for an Australia trip.... Let's make this happen!

Hey Ben, where's the monkey beaver saddle? Great video as always. Loved the close call on the awning!

thank you therianclimber,
yeah the hand ascender is my confession to being 'older' as is the foot ascenders, done with manually footlocking every ascent.
my climbing hitch is a customised VT with a couple of X-rings in the mix.
there is a vid about it called X-tender which will help explain what I am up to.
got further questions then feel free to PM .

no video of the saddle yet but just got the nod for a epic two day takedown of a just dead tasmanian blue gum so it is coming.
hmm yeah I could have rigged that bit out but it looked like it would fit so maybe a little bit of fuck it dust was sprinkled to smooth its passage

you know what I mean Steve ?

they are my favourite Euc to spike and cut (one of the softest)
