Is there such a thing as "enough carabiners"? I appreciate it, but mine are all DMM. I'd probably confuse myself with the gates.

Nice! We'll have to get in touch. I finally got to climb a bit last week. It's a blast!

Hey! Thanks for the reply. I'm still looking for mostly rigging things, various odds and ends(more 'biners!), and a foot ascender mostly.

"When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail..."

I don't know you, but I know for a fact you're no giant. What with that mouth and the ridiculous commentary, you're clearly compensating for something. How's that for provocation? Slander is spoken word. The term you were looking for is 'libel'. That being said, this isn't a court of...

I'm the new guy, but me personally; I don't want boucy rope. I hear that's what you want rock climbing, to protect from injuries in falls. The other concern of mine would be the Craigslist origin. I took the advice of a professional climber when it came to rope, and bought new. There are...

I'll look it up. I've got a lot to learn!

That's pretty cool. I did pick up a Hitch Climber system, but was stupid and didn't get a spliced eye in my rope. Sigh.

Hey there! I picked up a Weaver Cougar and modded it "Liger" style. I'm basically looking for more rope and ascenders(foot and knee) at this point, plus a Friction Saver and Portawrap. Also all kinds of miscellaneous hardware to play with. Eventually a Zigzag. The list goes on and on...

Thanks so much for the pictures! That really helps me wrap my head around how it all goes together. I'm on the lookout for ascenders now.

That would actually be amazing. We red heads gotta stick together lol

I love all the pictures. They're great, and hugely helpful. Haha there's not a corner of this house I don't have junk in right now. If I'm counting correctly, I've purchased 39 chainsaws since May. Here's a recent scene from the garage...

I see what you're saying. I'm right handed, but left foot and left eye dominant. How strange I am...lol. I always step/jump left foot first. I need to look into these a lot more obviously. Particularly, how the knee ascenders are attached/rigged and whatnot.

Excellent! So which foot and knee am I shopping for? Lol... That's what's baffling me right now.

Brother, I've got five kids aged from 18 years to 9 months. Do you think I know anything about beer money? Lol... Tell me about ascenders. Which foot/knee, etc? I'm shopping Treestuff right now, filling another cart. I'm all ears.

Excellent input, and much appreciated. I've got a pair of chainsaw pants in my cart on Treestuff right now, for the next round of goodies. Plus a friction saver. I'll take any pointers you've got :)

No worries at all! Like I was saying, that was a lot of text to dig through.

It's listed about midway down my wall of text lol... It's a Weaver Cougar. The Cougar comes stock with a square shaped webbing bridge. A lot of folks do the "Liger" mod, which replaces the stock steel rings and webbing bridge with rigging plates which allow you to use standard rope as the...

A couple of guys expressed interest in what I chose for a beginner climbing setup, so I thought I'd post it up publicly. I've been blessed with great input from a professional climber throughout my shopping process. I chose to stick to the basics and use a DRT/DdRT setup for now. I picked up a...

Hey guys! I've found a mentor and would like to start climbing a bit. I'm not ready to break the bank on premium brand new equipment just yet. I'm hoping maybe some deals are out there to be had. I'm looking for gaffs, saddle/belt, ropes, helmet, the whole shebang...on a budget at first...
