I take it EN Rating is not going to be ANSI Approved?

If it's not ANSI I cant use it

 

[familytree]

the guy in the pic was doing a cut and hold and no one on this site has crusified him yet, im supprised

it looks like a nice saddle, but kinda uncomfortable looking, like a cheaper version of the treeflex

 

[banjo]

Look how twisted up the saw is. Thats kind of funny.

Nothing wrong with a cut and hold...lionstailing however...

That guy's got that 'unacceptable face of arboriculture' expression on his face - lol!

Out on a limb, uncomfortable, swollen, bloated face from over-heating twisting the Natanoko to within an inch of it's life, no undercut, grillon is hangin loose, Vt too long and probably sliding as he's making the cut - lol!
Doing the photoshoot for free in the vain hope he might get some free gear from petzl which he probably wont. ha ha

That guy has my deepest sympathy.

 

[Rocks_and_Trees]

I've heard some good things about this harness.
Has anyone climbed on it yet?

Oh, and Familytree did you get your treeflex yet??

 

[familytree]

Now that's the kind of armchair arboricultural psychological profile I like to see!


This guy must be some sort of salesman, trying to relive the glory days, hanging out with climbers who have real skill (sounds like someone I know!).

wonder what happened to the other one? Maybe he flattened it.

 

[louis]

yeah give him a break.. not all acting jobs are easy, even if he had all his fingers i still don't think he could reach that friction hitch, and who leaves there foot ascender on while pruning

Everyone I know who uses a pantin leaves it on whilst pruning. DOnt suppose it gets in the way does it? but I get your point.

 

[banjo]

Does anybody know anything about the "Gated Rings" mentioned on page two of the spec sheet?

 

[louis]

2 weeks...... i ordered mine from karstsports.com they told me 4 days, thats why i don't always order treeclimbing gear from a treeclimbing company, especially something that just came out

 

[louis]

about the pantin, i take mine off as soon as i get to the croch my rope is in, i footlock the tail from there

 

[Leon]

If I use the pantin I just leave it on for the whole climb. I doesn't seem to ever get in the way much.
