Titanium gear

[HÖLLENREICH]

think I put this post in the wrong place the first time. Since I'm not a big fan of Helping Tobey pay for his exotic trips and high prices. I always try to find new stuff at a reasonable price. Here's a place where ya'll can gear up with all titanium, cinch, hand adcender, pulleies.

great find ed!!!! Hand ascender is a little pricey but everything else seems reasonably priced. Think I might order up a couple rings and basic ascender and take em through the rounds a bit

 

[HÖLLENREICH]

the hand is little pricey true but, in that, not sure as I anit tried one yet. But looks like the rope has no way to slip out as it can with petzl or kong. Plus it has a leaver so you can work it like a cinch also.

good point ed, kinda like a Petzl I'd with a hand lever, didn't notice it before. Makes me want to buy one of those as well. Great find!!!

Any links to storick? Does the hand ascender not accept larger diameter (11.5) mil ropes?

Ed, do you own any of these goodies?

 

[HÖLLENREICH]

hmm to find storrick dodn't have him favs do a search for his name. No it takes up to 12mm rope.

I have the pullies both standard and rescue. My next order after Xmas but before 31 for taxes

I plan to order the hogwauler and some rings.

went to the site to pick up a hand ascender and basic ascender and some rings but they only sell through a rock climbing company based out of Utah. The company sells the gear both in titanium and alluminim but charge 99 bucks for the basic ascender. They didn't have the hand ascender. I'm not going to bite quite yet. I'm not to pleased with the company adding a couple bucks to the product. Also I'm not a huge fan of the "descent" method on the hand ascender. I though it was more like a grigris descent.
