    Best way to count cover/core strands?

    Counting the darken strands gives you half the cover strands, or count the strands going one way and multiply by 4. Not too many companies give the number of core strands, there seems to be more with an odd number, rather than an even amount.

    Beginner Tree Climbing Tips

    Ropewalking up a vertical pole with a flipline is easy, with practice. Toes touch the trunk. Might help build the motion. Backwards bicycle motion. Shorter steps to start. I ropewalked 2-3 days ago was was taking more than 12" strides.

    Beginner Tree Climbing Tips

    I cut a Petzl handled ascender down about 15 years ago. Been using it since. Tried commercially made floating ascenders. Not any better/ better enough for me to spend 150 bucks. Set up right, I float up a rope if rec climbing. Carrying an extra 20-30 pounds of gear, it smooth, but floating...

    Made a little set up with the Petzl ascender back when. Prefer my SAKA. Well worth the spend. Gave this rig to a climber that used to work for me. He was wanting an extra set up to help teach some guys he worked with at his new gig...

    It was a considerable bone of contention. He was inexplicably dogmatic about it.

    He was big on that, but it seems easy and sensible. No, but it’s easier to follow the conversation if others can see what you’re referencing. None of it is a declaration, just an observation. @cory responded to one of my posts today, I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t see it. If that...
