This is the Akimbo

[southsoundtree]

It's probably just vector (force coupled with direction).

If the inventor of the Akimbo says it is "force vector" than it is force vector when referring to the Akimbo!

And @JMerritt, super excited for you and coming into the homestretch!

Jamie did you reverse the release direction, Up is now Down. Just making sure this was on purpose and not because you are human.

 

[JMerritt]

Yup. Makes the lock arms less vulnerable to snagging and accidental bending

I also emailed you some additional notes. Specifically that it will feel a bit grippy on the rope until the contact surfaces get polished smooth by the rope.

[JeffGu]

Indeed, it is. Very elegant design.

Thank you Jeff, and thank you Gordon. That means a lot to me.

I remember seeing this on the buzz for the first time in one of Jamie's redirect threads. I've been wanting to try one ever since. One of these days I'll have to see if Jeffgu actually exists (I believe he's getting one)

Looks like my email only let me send to 8 addresses at once and yours got cut off. My bad. I resent it to you just now.

Ok got it [emoji16],that was basic.
I tried it on a yale blaze and some tachyon...
What are the best rope types (rope construction)and or actual rope(brand and model)to be used with Akimbo?
My results varied with those 2 lines,i have some poison ivy and velocity cool as well.

 

[JMerritt]

Try the poison ivy

Ok will do for sure,I only have smaller length of that so if i gonna get a new rope for this beauty what should be deciding factors?24 strand,double braid,11.7,11.5,etc...

Get a length of Yale Calamine, it is hands down the best in the PI class and functions awesome with any system. Seriously.
