Well put MB.:thumbup:

My advice to newbie's starting out climbing is TRUST YOUR GEAR. And start out low and slow.

Also what I learned in the army is to hydrate the day before a road march, that way your already ahead of the game, also eat well like rice, noodles, carbs are energy. And will also help with the cramping.

Yep use to drink that stuff before wrestle meets in high school. Sounds weird but monitor your pee. The more clear your pee is the more hydrated. The more it looks like yellow like bud light the more (dehydrated) you are.

Nice.....:occasion5:

Thanks for the visual merle. I used that on the smaller pines i did in my yard few weeks ago. It was real stable, also a pain to move, but if i had a wire core flip landyard i think it would have went a lil more smooth.

I have a throw cub with throw line. But no big shot. Yet.

LOL. Thanks Bermy, The ascent is same with me till i get to branches then im A ok. Most of the time.

Well and big thanks to Mark. I had fun but there was a lot of worries that day. I just got back in from climbing a pine in my yard. I got to my tie in point " alpine with a screw link" around trunk. Probably 30-40 up easy. But anyway before i got off my life line i double wrapped my landyard and...

Thanks, Tucker, hope it dont take 5 to get that use to it.. By the way i just read your quote and that is funny...

Thanks, Sean, and Tucker for the insight. LOL.. I'm just glad im not the only one that gets a lil uneasy on the way up.

Yes, Sean i was ddrt to the top. I think a lot of it had to do with it was lightning struck and higher i got the more damage i seen. But, yes Climbmit insisted on a ddrt system as well as i did.

Well, did some climbing with climbmit this weekend at my dad's house. We removed a pine and a magnolia that were damaged by lightning. I don't no why but 10 ft from the branches on the pine i got real nervous. I did a few pines at my own house with little fear, still dont understand why i got...

I'll call u tomorrow merle bout 4pm my time cent.

Thanks for the advice Page. Yea i have done the blake's hitch before i like it also ....So anchor knot and connect it to the hitch climber pulley. As of right now i have been hooking both beener's to my rope bridge. I have a hitch climber pulley but the knot interfering was making me nervous so...

Whats, the best knot for a hitch climber pulley setup if you don't have a spliced eye? Askin cause i don't want the knot to interfere with the friction hitch.

That's, a tautline hitch Master that hitch is like 200 yr's old (j/j) But ,I'm guessing it's that old for a reason. I do like the Blake's hitch. I read some of the other post on here when i got home from Fla. And the blake's is nice. the tautline hitch on my xtc fire gripped way to much...

Yep, I just went and did that Appalachian, and Your right and so is Nick. I can have 100' of rope tangled up and nothing pisses me off more then when my friction hitch mess's up when im trying something new. Just sayin.

:violent1: <<<< That's me NICK. Lmao. Ima moron i just went and did it again. I took the top piece and keep it on top through out the cross-overs. thanks bud. Y in the hell did i keep doing that . Watch the climbingarborist on youtube he switches them, like over then the one on top the next...
