This rope is slick when new, however it gets supple with time. Good abration resistance and knot tieability.I don't like that it can not be used with some mechanical descenders because it is too wide. It is also a little heavier than other rope. Makes great lanyards.
Posted on 5 February 2012 | 9:54 pm All Gear "Target Line": Great line. OK strength. Nice thickness.
I love this throwing line and wish they had a less visible version of it for stealthy missions.
It is a bulky line at 3mm and is great for trees that have thin skin like Banyans. It definitely has reduced my snags on those trees because it cuts less into the tree than thin lines. That said, we...
Posted on 5 February 2012 | 6:19 am New Tribe "Tengu": Comfy, heavy, and bulky
This is a very comfortable harness. It's fairly silent too. I have had mine for a couple years and really enjoy it. I like the soft Ds though I wonder how well they would really hold if I did half the crazy things I used to do with my Navaho SIT.
I never liked the triangle deltas on the New T...
Posted on 5 February 2012 | 6:03 am Petzl "Navajo Vario": Love it
I've had this harness for years and have used it in ways it probably was never meant to be used. I have to say I really love this harness.
It's actually fairly light and has tough D rings that are really nice to use. For rec climbing, I switched away from it for a Tengu harness from new Tribe ...
Posted on 5 February 2012 | 5:36 am New Tribe "Treeboat": Fun but pricey
I have the long boat and I love it for the most part.
I have camped many times at height and just a few feet above the ground and I really enjoy this hammock. I have used it in rainforests and low desert.
Some things to consider:
- The color makes it hard to see in the trees and that comes i...
Posted on 31 January 2012 | 2:11 am Unicender: Scary device but very cool idea
I have used this device a couple of times and it's a bit unnerving. Believe me, I climb with all kinds of goofy gear and have rescue trained on many types of gear as well.
I have never seen a device that requires as much rope out to lock as this device does on rappel. The main concern I have w...
Posted on 31 January 2012 | 1:47 am Petzl "Am'D" Carabiner: Great carabiner - for righties
Awesome carabiner for it's weight and strength.
It's very easy once you get the hang of it. That said, it's biased for right handed use. Left handed people may find it a bit odd though still usable.
Also, I often use this carabiner for rock climbing, canyoneering, and all kinds of mischief. ...
Posted on 31 January 2012 | 1:01 am Buckingham "Friction Saver": Bulky and strong - can make your own easier
I'm writing this post-ownership. I recommend two things: Be careful with this when you retreive it and get the steel version. Mine fell and hit a rock on the way down. While the webbing is strong, the rings were not and the huge dent in the ring meant I had to get rid of it or risk failure on ...
Posted on 31 January 2012 | 12:55 am Hitch Climber: For advanced techniques, this is handy
I became a convert to this pulley a year ago and it still boggles me how many setups can be done with it.
Simply put, if you are looking for advanced climbing techniques, get a spliced line and then this pulley will save you lots of headaches and time. When used for self-tending setups, I love ...
Posted on 31 January 2012 | 12:38 am Petzl "Elios": Light and durable - great for kids
I use this for kids climbs and it's very easy to use and adjust. It's also very light.
A friend of mine uses heavy DEET bug spray in the forest and his similar helmet weakened because of it. I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. He tossed it into his truck and it cracked....
