When i say “sat back” meaning i was going to make my move up the tree more… I had tension and was locked and not moving. when i went to lift my stick with my foot, i began to fall. My right hand was on my hip (which is my brake hand), and when i lifted...

    To reply to all questions asked, which hopefully covers what i can see/remember Canyon elite 9mm is the rope i am running (debating on switching back to my old rope) I mean, i didn’t plan to use it as a brake “hands free” but i guess that’s what i get for falling Somebody said the GriGri+ can...

    GriGri+ mishap….Viewer discretion advised

    Tonight while going up the tree, i had some type of fault/failure. I was about 10 feet and went to sit back to get my step…..when i sat back, i kept going. I used my hands to slow myself down, and the device engaged…. Only thing i can think is there was slack in the system causing the “catch”...

    Tethrd customer service

    I have to say, tethrd customer service in my book is 100%! I had an issue with my saddle. It was 1 month past my year of purchase….I sent them an email and receipt of purchase along with pics. They sent me a package slip via email and off it went. Sent them my old saddle back, communication...

    One Sticking Mishap

    I mean, it is one step vs 2-3 step. Cam cleat you slide the rope into the cleat and pull tight Cam buckle you have to connect and pull tight.... I guess it depends on your climbing style, how big of tree, etc....

    One Sticking Mishap

    You have to think about what a cam cleat is really heavily used for. It's original intended purpose was for the sailing industry, to be able to run ropes and rigging quickly. The CAM cleat is meant to take a lot of abuse, but able to hold a rope tight. While I don't think it is necessary, I...

    One Sticking Mishap

    Sounds like you may have been rushing or having "tunnel vision" by the way you say "I noticed it but did nothing".... Just remember friends, take that extra second to just confirm things are set. Give it that extra "tug". This, while was minimal of a fall could have been more severe. Nothing...

    Buy first aid kit or built your own? Especially tourniquet

    I’m going to put my opinion into this. I work as a firefighter/EMT and have used a lot of different equipment…. one thing i will say, just because it “expires” doesn’t mean it won’t work. we have to by law replace the expired (so it goes into my kit lol). Must haves: 1. quick clot (bandages...
