Hi, just arrived and have a question!

[Swampster]

Hi, this is a question for the climbers here.
What's the best/most useful bit of personal gear that you purchased in the last few months, and why's it so good?
Cheers

Big Bucks Pads.
For me, gotta be the best upgrade for comfort.
Welcome!

RopeTech / Sena intercom units! Best investment in both time saving and safety!

Ropes. Other stuff makes jobs easier, but rope is one thing that makes jobs do-able.

 

[Swampster]

Gotta be comfy Swift, and good comms are vital too. No question that ropes important and the HAAS makes ascending easy.
What about smaller gear that is carried while you're working in the canopy? Stuff kept on your harness or with your climbing kit that you may choose to use if a certain type of climb or access technique is to be used?

Ring loop, retrievable redirect sling, webbing slings and accessory carabiners.

Whoa whoa whoa.

How about introduce yourself first, and let us know if you like long walks on the beach or reading until you fall asleep. You jumped down our throats with the "I'm new, so tell me all of your secrets" routine.

We've been hurt before.

Me personally, I despise long walks on the beach. Love throwing rocks and whistling, though.

Easy easyp, you'll scare him away.

 

[Swampster]

Sorry guys, my apologies.
I've been climbing for a while and I'm based in UK.
I like to keep up to date with what's happening and normally I am just a casual observer on these forums. Thought I'd step up and get involved.

 

[SWIFTYCLMBR]

Well then, what's your piece of advise? Or would you like to sit and have a cup of tea first?

Rigging wrench is changing my light rigging game permanently. I don't keep it on my saddle, but in my climbing bag. And it comes out a lot

 

[Swampster]

Are you an SRT man Mac, or is the wrench just a rigging tool?
And now that I've had my tea and biscuits I can offer only this advice; chances are that whatever you think your spouse is thinking, you are wrong.

Also.. If I had to pick ONE.. Sirius multisling. I don't go ANYWHERE without that. Hell.. I'm using it to hold my pants up right now.

yes all SRT, I don't use the wrench climbing much anymore, but for rigging.

 

[SWIFTYCLMBR]

Mac, How does the wrench perform under lighter rigging loads? Does it bind up?
