Gibbs Disposal Time

[Bounce]

You can replace the spring and the bolt on Gibbs rope grabs, but not the cam or the shell. I honestly don't know how long they last because I've never heard of one breaking before (not even the guy who accidently ran over his with his truck).

Yea, real funny.

you're finally understanding Mr. Davis' sense of humor

What about with a microscender?? Same idea, more or less indestructible under normal use and care, as a lanyard device?

 

[Bounce]

I'm not sure what you mean - how could you use a Gibbs lanyard adjuster with a micropulley? Or do you mean using a micropulley as a slack tender behind a friction hitch? I've had to replace my micropulley one time so far because the cheek plates got worn to a razor edge that was cutting my rope when it got pulled from the side. But it had about 10 years of use on my climbing line before that became a problem.

Huh?

microCENDER sean.

 

[cory]

Yeah, I think that's what it's called...same function as a Gibbs but a little smaller and different shaped...but they both have a cam.

 

[Burnham]

Yep, you are correct, Cory.

Sean...read twice, post once .

microCENDER sean.

Right, I knew that. I'm gonna lay off the stupid pills for a coupla days.
