Somehow I'll muddle through all those "scarey" scenerios.

I don't see how ya'll think it's so unsafe. I don't free climb. :drink:

I've already firmed it up somewhat. I shimmed it up a bit with some plastic.

Welcome to the Treehouse! :beer:

We both do!

No, I don't.

Well that bites a big one.

So is this supposed to be normal wear for aluminum? Everybody else eventually winds up with reamed out shanks, also?

Another good idea, thanks!

Heck, they're only 7 or 8 years old.

Yes, both are equally loose.

Yea, it's not a screw thing. The epoxy sounds like a good idea.

The shanks.

I guess they're the answer!

The odd thing is it doesn't bother me standing on them, it just messes with me when I'm trying to accurately stab the tree. The dissimilar metals would be a problem, I think. So they are stronger than aluminum?

I'm sure that's it. I guess that's the disadvantage of aluminum. I bet steel (HEAVY!) shanks don't have that problem. Crap! I wish there was something I could do about it.

THe screws can't get any tighter. I'm pretty sure they're OK.

Something is reamed/worn out cuz I can't get the two screws any tighter than they already are. I wonder if it's a gaff problem or a shank problem, and (if it's the latter) would new gaffs help or not? Maybe I can weld them together? Anyone else have wiggley gaffs? FTR, they are Bashlin.
