    Fall Force

    Just another safety granny thread.... We make a lot of disclaimers here about how "we should never have the impact of a real climbing fall" when talking about using thinner ropes, or Ropeman for instance. BUT If you are climbing above your tether as in doing One Stick Climbing or One Aider...

    Prusik Math?

    Any good rules of thumb for how much cord you use for tying Prusiks? I am making some beefy 9mm prusiks to try on 11mm assault line (looking for something that doesn't roll). I used 48" to tie a double fisherman's knot with 2" tails and get a 3 wrap prusik with a decent sized loop to connect...

    Simple Stirrups Climb Video

    This setup weighs 3 pounds Still getting the technique down...but I'm going to work on it for a while. Stiff thicker rope with a Screw Link Girth Hitch moves easier. I'm using Bluewater 11mm Assault Simple Prusiks on both tethers (Klemheist at the moment). End of tethers backup clipped to...

    ATC Pilot

    I like it. Only used tonight at a few feet high. It is actually less bulky in some dimensions than the standard ATC. The hollow plastic is noisy when not connected to rope and not loaded. A standard ATC clipped to a biner is pretty quiet. The Pilot is not. Carabiner shape seems to matter...

    Black Diamond Etrier

    If you are looking for these....the Etrier is the heavy duty. The “Aider” is the Alpine Aider which is lighter and not as easy to climb. I was just hanging one of these on a climbing stick and felt ‘guilty’ about hanging it from the Grab Loop instead of using the small carabiner clip in point...

    Using a Screw Link / Carabiner in your girth hitch

    I am going to experiment with this doing the Aider Climb. You can advance your tethers much easier if they loosen off of the tree and don't get hung up. Girth hitching through a screw link or carabiner makes them come loose VERY easily when not loaded. Any one messed with it? SAFETY ALERT It...

    Using Ropeman 1 on 9mm rope?

    DISCLAIMER FIRST I know that it isn't rated for 9mm. The reason is that the teeth won't slip under a hard load and at 4kn will start to damage the rope sheath. Obviously, thinner rope would be more of a problem. I am using Ropeman 1 on 9mm on my foot tether and my Linesman's Belt. I used it...

    Just ordered some Muddy Pro Sticks

    $148 with free shipping from Jet.com. Hard to resist. I got them for setups where I am not hiking or maybe I would use the 1 stick method on occasion. I love the idea (never used them) of the Rope and the double steps and I know that I get more height from short sticks than long sticks. I have...

    Using Aiders as Climbing Sticks

    Thought this could use a fresh thread. Generally speaking, you are often better off using the One Aider climb method (minimal gear and bulk) http://saddlehunter.com/community/index.php?threads/one-aider-climb-video.4024/ or go straight to Red's Stepp method...

    Another backup connection idea

    Especially for long tethers.... This is also useful for self rescue while using a rappel device if you need to quickly tie into a long rope without pulling the tail of the rope all the way up. Good one to know You can very quickly create an Inline Clove Hitch anywhere on the rope. Just a small...

    Webbing Bridge on Kestrel?

    Any one messed with it? I used webbing on my OneHair seat and SitDrag. Rated 4,000# and is commonly used as Rope tie in anchors, Belay Extenders, Rappel extension etc. Slides freely across carabiners. Easily inspected, easy to confirm tails in the knots. Won't wear down the Kestrel loops as...

    Padding the bridge

    We aren’t happy unless we are changing something right? I lean into my bridge a lot and I get bruised/hot spots on my ribs. I had a pair of YakGrips laying around so I untied one end of the bridge and fed them on (coat inside with amorall) and covered the knots.

    Throwline connections for SRT?

    I have a Delta Screwlink at the top of my rope and a stopper knot on the tail. I try to avoid tying knots in the field when i can. I tie loops in the end of my throw line and girth hitch behind the screw link or attach the loop to it. If I need to attach to the tail, I girth hitch a loop behind...

    Removing bridge Carabiner from Kestrel?

    Who has done it? Any regrets after use? The convenience of the carabiner is nice. I hunted from a crooked tree yesterday and had the carabiner digging into my ribs a lot. I need to shorten my bridge anyway so I just removed the carabiner and will try using it that way for a while. I wonder...
