First day on the rope runner

Today I re-enacted the scenarios Kevin was talking about. With all my weight in my chest harness laying back, the runner didn't budge. When I forcefully leaned back and pulled my hardest it creeped oh so slightly. So I think I am comfortable tending from this position thus far.

By the way, and once again, that tending spot is sooo damn smooth.

Are both of these o.g. blue's yours? You lucky dog! I'd like to own one someday if I can ever find one. Got a Goldie but originals are where it's at.

Sometime I'm going to give it a try. But I was thinking that maybe instead of using a string maybe try using a metal ring. The only example I can think of is a nose ring kind of thing.

Eh?

I have a very small boat snap on my swing chest harness. That arbpro stiff throwline is a perfect match up right now. I'm sure you could get a key ring in there.

They are OG blue runners. One is Derrick martins that he let me borrow for that climb. He owns one of each runner that is out there including this prototype that I use too.
