    Knotty, you simply cannot claim a great number of "practical" climbs in your Pheonix apartment complex trees while at the same time saying, "I've never pretended to be a tree worker."...it just does not fly here. Tree work is what defines practical in the minds of most of us.

    Or maybe you're not really understanding the complicated machinations one must manage when you are working a tree, rather than playing at it. This is not a slap at you, but it is a reminder that for all your experience, it still is theoretical rather than practical, as @Maximalist so clearly...

    Read the words, Knotty..."blind", not "bind".

    IF you can see it. Never had to deal with a biner blind?

    A well-respected maker of solid mountaineering gear. Should hold up to the task, I would guess.

    Fast is right! I'd still be pulling if it was one of my USFS Warns :D.

    That's certainly not in the dynamic range, for traditional values. Semi-static...it's on the low end, but accurate in my view. Colorful, it surely is...but pretty? Maybe a little less so :D. Seen plenty of ropes that are worse looking.

    I think I have seen them with hi-viz stripes on them, somewhere. In my work world, that was never a need.

    There has never, ever been a more comfortable, longer wearing, workplace appropriate garment than a proper hickory shirt. I wish you many a happy year with it, John @lxskllr. Prison Blues makes good stuff at decent prices, so it should be a great shirt.

    @Mellow You must have a locking tailgate handle, I expect?

    They are sewn in such a way as to tear out in a controlled manner, reducing shock to your climbing system, say if a fall occurs from a tie in point failure that is arrested on a lower branch.

    We all can tell this without even trying. Get a clue, you will not fool this crowd with bs.

    So you just ignore that in your accounting of your awesome income production, eh? Wish I could do that.

    Seems you and Mick agree :).

    I'm not hating, I'm just saying you are mistaken when you make a blanket statement like that :). As is @WoodCutr. It is bs because whether or not you find a lower or higher D location to be more comfortable is largely dependent on how your own body balances, i.e. more weight up higher or down...

    Or nostalgic for the proper use of a lanyard for spur climbing, perhaps ;). Your comment that hip D's are not ergonomic is complete bs.

    How can you tell which cutting yesterday is causing today's back pain?
