Two weeks ago I was cleaning a number of cuban royal palms using a 2 rope false crotch technique. I was on my 7th palm of the morning, where I had to prune off a frond with my silky sugoi. I did not have a secondary life line and didnt bother throwing my flip line over a few fronds for a 2nd...

What is the minimum kN rating for climbing gear, for example, I have a pulley that is rated at 22kN, would it be considered safe to climb off? I ask because the lowest rating Ive seen on a carabiner is 26kN.

I have used both extensively and tend to favour the husky for its comfort levels. Which saw do you think is the best?

I am using a 50 meter length of velocity, and when I descend, the vt twists the rope up so bad that I get big tangled messes that I have to stop and sort out on the way down. I lead the rope into the pulley with my spare hand as I come down, and this relieves the problem only marginally. My...

Does anybody have one of these that they could post a picture of for me? I need to get an idea of the physical size of them, say as compared to a normal micro pulley. The idea is that if its small enough, I will use it on the bridge of my glide. Thanks in advance.

What static line should I be using as a secured footlock line? Do I need to find a rock climbing line or is there a suitable arb specific line that I can use? It would be purely for access, not for work positioning. Thanks in advance.

I had the left hand side leg loop clip of my glide pop open on me today while I was returning from a limbwalk. Scared the crappers out of me and was a little awkward to clip back in. Im not sure wether I rubbed it or something, or wether it is getting a little worn. It is 2 years old and...

I will be picking up a new silky shortly and I was wondering if anyone climbs with their silky on their leg and how that compares to having it on your harness? I will be getting a Sugoi, so the sheath is aready designed with leg straps. It looks a bit bulky to hang from my waist. Thanks in...

Here are some pictures of my rec tree. Its a Eucalyptus tereticornis, commonly known here as Blue Gum. Its not the tallest at 30 meters (100ft) but thats about what they max out at around here, and it has a lot of volume with multiple major leaders. I try to get into it at least 3 afternoons a...

I am currently climbing on a klemheist, which works fantastically, however I would like to have the one handed slack tending ability that my VT offers. Does anybody use a micro with their prussick loop? I have tried it in several configurations, clipped onto the biner and clipped onto the...

Hey gang, I am fairly new to climbing although I have been working on the ground for 2 years. I am interested in buying a new climbing line to replace my old samson 16 strand blue streak, and I like the idea of using a 24 strand line like samson velocity or the yale equivalent (blaze?) I...
