    Singing Tree Rope Wrench Review.

    Wow, Cary, just read this. Sounds like the scenario that scares me most. To me it sounds like a stickier hitch is in order. I have found that a hitch that works one day will not work as the hitch cord dries out, gets a little crispy, older dirtier etc. Also, its not enough for the hitch to...

    Singing Tree Rope Wrench Review.

    I got a few of the recessed button pins and they are very high profile and not as aesthetically pleasing as the lower profile pins. I have not seen any real threat of the pin getting disengaged while climbing as you have to push and pull simultaneously. While playing around with the...
