My Rope Runner was delivered yesterday...so what's my problem? I messed up my arm 4 days ago during a climb. Something popped inside, damage was done and I won't be using it to climb for a few more days. Beautiful day, new toy, messed up arm = use the chest roller for hands free climbing.:D I...

The NT Yella Grapnel has been calling my name but I've been too cheap to buy one. Late last night I decided to make one. Quick and dirty was the name of the game, for a first go, from the wire wrapping (instead of setting up the welder) to the lumpy powder coat. It ain't pretty, but it will...

I'm wondering if there is any consensus (probably wishful thinking) on what works best as a tether for tending the HH. I made a wire tether from a high tensile strength bicycle wheel spoke which got bent up on my last climb when I wasn't using it. I was about to order a tether from TreeStuff...
