    Newbie assessing tree

    One of my apprentices bought his first house recently. He is concerned about a tree partially overhanging a garage. I offered to look at it and prune or remove *if* I was confident that it was within my limited capabilities. I got the first picture today but have not yet viewed it in real life...

    SRS noobie question

    Good to meet you Wwallace52590 I have never tried the wrench. I have met a very good wrench climber from Illinois. He swears by the Fitch Hitch. See video.

    Climbing tips and tricks

    I started out on a chilly early morning with a light pile jacket. As the sun rose I got overheated. Any tips for heat management when you have a variety of temperatures in one climb?

    I had a family member ask me to remove a branch from a tree overhanging a fence like that. He was very concerned about this possibility. In order to ease his worries and also protect the fence points from rigging errors I built a sturdy wooden box to distribute the impact to the entire fence...

    New Harness Made By DMM

    I would be curious to read this standard. The PDF costs $108.00 and I would rather spend that on gear than words. https://www.astm.org/f0887-20.html

    New Harness Made By DMM

    I am still experimenting with a single adjustable bridge. For me it is mostly a convenience for donning and removing the saddle. For me, certification is not a requirement. This DMM may be the first opportunity for many to legally use an adjustable bridge. But, does it pass CE requirements...

    SRT techniques for beginners

    I measured the main carabiner holes 15mm diameter and the center of that hole 17.5 mm from the edge of the Kydex radius. The tending hole is 12mm dia and the center 14mm from the edge of Kydex radius. I think there is some parallax in these images making the measurements look smaller. I am very...

    What Is/Are Your Favorite Friction Hitches for Climbing SRS/SRT?

    Kyle, I really enjoyed reading your details about work positioning in industrial construction. I do the same in electrical but only rarely. Most of my work is commercial or light industry and we usually work in a lift or on the ground.

    What Is/Are Your Favorite Friction Hitches for Climbing SRS/SRT?

    With my Hitchhikers I use the original hitchhiker hitch from Paul Cox’s instruction manual or the innovation hitch. I play with different knots on my lanyard but usually go back to VT or Michoacán. Those four are the only ones I really know. If I am playing with anything else I need to look up...

    SRT techniques for beginners

    This vendor offers the 0.125 in any color as long as it’s black! The other 22 colors are for the thinner material. Other vendors might have it. I assume you would rock the O.D. I really like sage green (not sure if they make sage Kydex.) I agree that the price for a fully finished holster is...
