David, my esteemed friend. You also are a wizard, and one we who have tried to improve our skills and abilities aloft over many a year must thank.
Gary puts his fingertip on a fact all of us here should acknowledge, especially those of us with enough turns in the barrel to be able to see what was and compare it to what now is, climber technology-wise....that being, you have been waaaay out in front of almost all of us for at least the 20some years you and I have been aware of each other.
Mechanical and mech/fabric hybrid DRT and SRT systems especially. Exploring and sharing your trials with all the newly developed tools, and refining the self-advancing qualities, the harness attachment points, the secondary foot-slings and rope-grabs. You have my complete admiration at how you have been so open-minded and flexible in exploring/adopting and then educating the rest of us arbo-Neanderthals...especially so in that you are no spring chicken, sir. Please take that as intended, a compliment from another old bird
.
It takes a very special mind to do as you have.
It pleases me no end to have spent time with you, both here and in person. Your very talented partner Sylvia included in the latter.
Kudos, sir.
