I wouldnt say no to that!

Thanks for all the food for thought fellers.

Did you finally bite the runner bullet

I did, I am enjoying the roperunner very much. Thinking of ideas for a video, but it seems all the ideas and concepts have been filmed and released.

You shouldnt weld stuff onto life support. I would retire that.

That's why I used JB Weld. That thing is fine to hang your life on.

That's a whole different animal, altogether. JB Weld is just epoxy with a lot of metal oxides in it. No heat involved.

My bad

I got my runner last week. Noticed that when I set up a 2:1 for limb walk returns, the rope can press on the body and keep the runner from engaging. Anyone had that issue or have a piece of advice?

Yes but if you check out Rich Mumfords vids he explains a few things. Well worth viewing.

Ordered mine today. Hope I like it and it likes my cougar or prism

I've been enjoying the RR a lot. It's all I've climbed on since it came in the mail last month. I've used it for big pruning, removals and some tricky stuff that I was kinda debating on going rope wrench on but decided to put my faith into the new tool. Thanks for the loner model Frank. It was great to have an extra one to pass around. Some of the dudes were skeptical at first but have since come around to liking the RR. For me I love how nice it tends. Ascending is great with a foot ascender and floating/hass style ascender. I'm running Yale sumac and totally getting things dialed in for the smooth descent. Fun stuff!

No problem Hutch you guys are right in my neighborhood. Hopefully some day I'll get to come climb with you guys and see how pros do it. I know I was amazed how fast Rob was up and moving around the tree we were playing in.

Steve I think you're going to like it. It takes a few trips to get comfortable with it but it is a nice piece of gear.

I only used the runner for a little while, but I noticed the same thing. I remember finding that the best way of avoiding it was to let go of the working end of your line very quickly and just let go.

But I bet someone here who uses the rope runner often has better advice.

Thanks, yeah the video mentions the problem but not much of a solution.
