Whether it needs it or not.

Just like you and a Bath.

This is a climbing device, its a descender and ascender in one device.



The reason it excites me well because ive been following it for about 7 years it started as a tree climber playing in his garage looking for a solution. And here it is a fully approved device marketed world wide.

That's interesting, although I no longer need one. Use to have a Petzel stop lock descender and a couple of asenders for caving.

I love looking at climbing gear, don't have a clue how to use it safely and certainly can't afford it but it's all so pretty.

With every one scared of this silly virus so I havent been out climbing since sept 2019

Today we were choosing tile samples

Decided on the wood effect in the pic

If you know a bit about knots and ropework you can make up some adequate gear, like a sit harness and Prusik loop assend/decenders. A little primitive by todays standards, but they work.

Been a few years for me, but liked the thrill of caving. Here's a couple of photos of improvised gear I made up when I heard about Massacre Cave coming to light again after an earthquake.

Its all just play time, i haven't been commercial for about 5 years only back it due to covid and not fancying being in tight canteens or sites.



Ive done my fair share of abseiling window cleaning and building work




The tree work is great if you are mechanically minded helps in rigging and understanding forces
It also provides lots of mechanical work and fabrication.

Have been for about 8years, knee ascender and foot ascender cant be beaten.

I will ofcourse when it cant be risk assessed out ensure i have two ropes so that when im a prat and hang of a pencil when it snaps my second pencil tie in will break. Also

Heres a more interesting number, tower bridge hospital

 

[indy4x]

Some wheel bearing spacers, means I can fit Grand Cherokee WJ from knuckles, discs and calipers on my Cherokee XJ

Only need a pair, 2nd set is for another axle that's part of the long term build

I like the stops, rig is certainly a safer device.

The super safe version called an ID is stupid.

Well (and the culprit will suffer when I catch up with him) this arrived exactly 55 minutes ago. Ordered from Japan in Aug/Sept:

(look away now if Tool Porn offends)

I have bought it to use specifically on the lathe and Mill. I am hoping I can find it a bit easier than the one I have there now.

ID is industry standard for level 1s. Rig is good but can go wrong if rope installed wrong way

Where is that? Looks like somewhere I used to work.

tree work and engineering are really intertwined. More so than people would think. My background is heavy stuff and shipping. Lots of rigging and lifting. Surprised me when I did a bit for a few arb firms how related it all is. Like you say, they provided me with plenty of fab and mech work. Usually beefing stuff up to the level of ‘donk proof’ then some!

Id and asap bloody awful things. Especially when swinging and dropping past something asap locks on at the wrong moment.

Rig and duck you can almost free fall great when racing, getting the rope in the wrong direction should be a case of any sense you would leave the trade

Cant remember the building name,it was in holden way from memory.

I know my power steering pump blew up on the newly tarmaced drive. Did the right thing and parked few bays away.
