Hey no sweat, Chip!

I got a little heated there myself.

Peace...

Do you think they just sit around in high-rise offices drinking Scotch and throwing darts at a map of the world, to find out in which country they will market the Hitchclimber next?

That was a pretty good line... not really what I was talking about but I didn't actually understand how those guys were involved.

I love their gear, thoughtful design is just what we need right now to move things to the next level of professionalism.

I could see Mr Bridge doing that.

I was trying out a Klemheist once and tied it upside down, shoulda known better, I'd never used one before and just did spur of the moment on a 25' climb. I didn't weight it until I was already in the tree, that's when I discovered my screwup. It wouldn't have held at all.

Klemheist upside down is a recognized knot called the Kreutzklem. Works very well. Have used it for about 8 years straight now.
