january 15 CT Rec climb

I had a great time and learned a few things !!
It was a long hike but worth it the view!
Tomorrow I'll try to retrieve my re-direct + friction saver from the ground
Hopefully it doesn't get stuck Cory :) Thanks for the help!
 
That was a great day. Thanks Ian. Got to run I'll post some pics when I get back. Thanks again Ian and to everyone else. Everybody chipped in to make it a good day.
 
It was really great meeting everyone, I was just planning on climbing a tree but i learned tons on top of it. Thanks goodaking! I hope to see ya'll again real soon.
 
Thanks everyone, who would've thought a rec climb starting out at 10°f would be pretty comfortable? Good to see everyone, also got a preview of Russell's "Beer Yoga" program after the climb, priceless. Looking forward to the next climb, thanks Goodaking for making it happen!
 
Thanks everyone for coming out, I'm glad you all had a good time and could make the Devils den Rec climb! Cory it was good to see you again and thanks for giving me that demo on your Unicender! Danny glad you could make it out and keep me posted on the practice comp climbs, sound like a lot of fun! Emmet let’s get a group together I would love to check out how you splice! Dam is sounds like I missed ruses Beer yoga, Next time you will have to show me that. Thanks for the beer Russ. Andrew Awesome traverse a usual next time I want to try that out. I liked your mini 3 to 1 system nice and compact. Erik nice talking to you and your girlfriend, let’s get together some time, i would love to see some more of the gadgets you were talking to me about. And I would love to hear more about how you mill your logs. Sounds cool! Bob good to see you again and hanging out at the road house. Roberto we have to get you on the buzz thanks for coming out last minute good to see you! Goodpredator glad you could make it out sick climbing! Let me now when you all want to get together again I had a blast!
 
This was a real treat for Tania and I. She wishes to thank everyone for being so supportive. It's climbs like these that encourage her to do more, so thanks!

It's really funny...just when you think you've got your rig all figured out, you go and climb with new friends and see their great ideas;

-Goodaking, I really want to keep up with your experience with that new line. I sure hope it becomes what you were hoping for in time. Thanks for lettin' me ride!
-Predator, maybe you can wash that saddle and tumble dry on HIGH! ;) Your genuine good spirit is awesome. Keep it up!
-Moss, thanks for bringing the kitchen sink! I'm getting on that traverse next time. Also, thanks great stories at the pub, and for supporting Tania while I was elsewhere!
-Roberto, GGGOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you can get your new gear all dialed in and really enjoy it. Welcome to the canopy!
-Lync, nice to meet you. Your rig is really something. Thanks for sharing that with everyone. Maybe we'll catch up in 'The Garden'.
-Timberjack, nice to meet you. Good luck with the ascender rig. I'd also like to hear more about that climbing line as you use it...
-Danny, thanks for inspiring Tania to get deeper into climbing. She's talking my ear off about it now!
-Adkpk, I love that you've expanded your work into climbing. "Do you want me to get that branch for you?" ;)
To those whose names escape me..."There I was, in the crown of an old Oak. She was 70 inches across from bark to bark, swayin' in the wind like a top sail, and all I had for line was a piece of dental floss! But we took er down that day...all the way down!"

That's a great spot, Goodaking! I spied a good number of young trees that seem to be well on their way to being future gems.

It's great to put true faces with avatars and names. I met so many new people, and wish I had more time to spend with each. I think we'll all have to reconvene for another great time. If anyone makes their way to my neck of the woods, let me know.

Climb safe!

I hope I got everyone's name right. Roberto I guess your good predator doing process of elimination. And Treverde I guess I was confusing you with hesanarborist all day, sorry. See you guys next time.
 
Adkpk, you're the MAN! I got so wrapped up, I never snapped a single shot. Thanks so much for the photos, and for posting them.
 
Yes, Moss...Shellbark Hickory. What a treat to get up there and feel it move.

Btw, moss, what was the verdict on the knot we tied for you on the traverse rope (ninja rope)?

Perfecto, it was like a quadruple clove hitch with a cute little safety finish, would've held a cruise ship off the coast of Tuscany (oops, bad comparison). You and Mr. Tea are total ar-tea-stes. Whatever it was it was very secure, thank you.
