Sounds great, the beer's on me. Don't expect to see anything fancy though, I'm just climbing on 8mm beeline prusik with a klemheist.
I've got all the same gear you've got. Got a big bag filled with microcenders, shunts, hand ascenders, chest ascenders, foot ascenders, all kinds of pulleys, some with progress capture, and all kids of descent devices like figure 8's, sticht plates, gri gri's, racks, don't have a whale's tale any more. I started out as a rock climber in my young teens and progressed on to caving, canyoning, then got work in industrial access and mountain rescue. All those tools have their place, and they do their job.
When i first got into tree climbing, i couldn't believe people climbed on prusiks! I had prusiks of course, but in the industrial access world we'd never use them if there were other options available. They're more of a backup tool. So I had a go at using all my gear, which i was well familiar with and had used for over 15 years commercially already. It didn't take long before I realised this wasn't going to work, because the needs of treeworkers are so different from the needs of other rope users. I took the prusik up and never looked back. I'm not averse to new gear (I've got plenty of it!) and own a first and second generation rope wrench, and have climbed on the unicender, the hitch climber, and the spyderjack. haven't tried the petzl tool yet. Each one is slightly better than a prusik in some ways, and worse in others. I still haven't seen a tool that is overall better.
