Please tell me you hit it with a hammer a few times before cranking it over, just for shits and giggles.

1.21 jigga watts!

I’m ok seeing them at the zoo. Or from afar with a 7mm Rem mag just in case.

I miss this kind of humor.

I got thrown in the middle. I usually tell them they have to pay for it and get the HO to sign off on the additional work. They usually balk and go away. Gratifying to watch I must admit.

I worked in a neighborhood where the neighbors, two of them two different sides of my custy’s property, wanted me to cut out more than my custy and I had agreed on. One guy wanted me to cut the tree at 30’ easily taking out half of the crown of the tree. He felt that the tree could reach his...

Tree decided to punch something.

Well, you are going climbing not descending. Lol

1-2’ falls if you are in a position to tend slack. You might be on the rock and need to make a move or two before you can get comfortable enough to tend your device. Or you could use a GIBBS on a vertical line. It was made for fall arrest with ease of tending vertically.

I have belayed may people with a grigri and never found slack tending an issue, 10.2 mm was my preferred line size. IMO a lot of tree gear isn't suited for the dynamic energy created during a fall while rock climbing.

Any climbing gyms near by you can visit, meet some peeps, and see if you can join them for an outing? Give a call into IME up in North Conway NH they have a climbing school and I’m sure they know or have groups you can join in your neck of the woods.

Me personally I would use a grigri and pull slack to tend.

Hey, new guy, where’s the beer? Lol

Wet. I have four jobs underwater, literally.

Thank you!
