💯 The corner of my storage shed has some of the gravel holding up one corner washed out. Of course you could never put the gravel back where it belongs and have it be tight so I apply double wedges- the face cut wedge (@Mick! a gob) from a cherry tree for volume and then drive in a plastic...

I recently needed to lift a 4x6 beam about 1/2 inch from its position on top of a 4x4 post under my front porch. No need to go into the nitty gritty details of why unless someone is really interested...but after removing the T braces that secured the position, I used a pair of old beat up 8...

Nay...Sean means a pad to protect your rope from friction against the rock surface it may bear against in providing climbers protection.

Never heard that term. Is it a reference to what a RW does in a system

Personally. I would use something more bullet proof than a ZZ. Prone to side load cracking and not something I would have anywhere near a hard rock surface. Rope Runner, Akimbo or HH for tough and compact, or bulldog bone if that is still around. If you can make them work on skinny rope. I've...

This was absolutely true for the usual knots. I climbed some years with the knut. The best case in srt gave me a descent with the first pull down on the knot's top. But if I released the knot for a cut or just a bit to slow down, the top tightens and grabs hard the line. So hard that I wasn't...

Friction pads for sure. At a cliff, you won't have to put 100 percent of your weight on the rope to get down. You can always, very easily, make a friction device to add a la RW.

We are still hopeful to see the bears slay the salmon! 🍣

Well, you are going climbing not descending. Lol

Though gibbs would prevent rapelling down so it's probably not an option

I'm feeling safer already:dude: These areas and routes I have in mind, alot of them good climbers would simply free solo bc they are probably V1 or 5.7 but I'm way to elderly for highball boulders etc. Nobody wants to fall but especially us elder folks.

Here is a live video camera feed of the of the main feeding falls @vharrison . Check in periodically because the fish are late this year. https://www.youtube.com/explorebears/live

Hmm gibbs, I hadn't thought of that, I have some of those too. thanks

And two burn scars
