Looks like an AkimBDB.

You’re probably right. Cover pattern looks the same. I was tired when I posted and hadnt noticed the blue strand (s).

Interesting in that they list a bunch of approved ropes and then the photos on the RE website show it setup with Cougar Orange. Not on the list.

How heavy are you Stig?

:) I wasn't implying you were a rec climber, sorry if that's how it came across. What I meant was, the guys I climb for over here dont want me trying to reconfigure a devise every few days. They want me to get up the tree and get it done asap. It is also very frustrating for me to have that...

PM sent. Thanks. Burnham, Tim, I am probably 200+ lbs with ppe and climbing kit on. I think weight makes a big difference. One of the main problems I found was after a while I would just slowly start to descend in the Akimbo. So I would tighten up the bollards and then it would be locked so...

Different strokes for different folks Tim. When it works for me it is great but then the humidity changes, the rope gets dirty or s Mething else and I have to go through the process of setting it up again. So the big point is WHEN. I climb most days wether it is is contract climbing or my own...

I have used it on all sorts of ropes. Believe me, I have tried so many times to make the thing work but at the end of the day I am paid to climb so I use something I can rely on.

Btw, I am in Norway now and not the UK. I am willing to pay to postage. In its present setup I find it really difficult to get in with. I am hoping the upgraded spring will make it usable.

Can I get a couple sent over please Jamie?

So there is a new spring then? Are those different to the ones you sent Ben Rose?

It went for 401 GBP. My mate was pretty pleased.

Yes just search for ... wicked excited about the akimbo

Thanks for the detailed reply. I can only comment from my own experiences and draw upon similar circumstances read online from other users. As for the locking up issue, all the ones sent to the UK seemed to have been done up to different levels, only a turn of the centre connection loosens...

Dave, my problem with the Akimbo is the need to adjust it. Yes it can be customised for different ropes. It just isn't consistent enough. I got it working great on the 11mm htp and loved it then one day it just wouldn't hold me up. That was it... I have spent enough time and energy trying...

Man, that Akimbo went for silly money. I have been thinking the same with mine. I dont think I have climbed on it for months.

I know about the full adjustability of the device as I have climbed a fair bit on it. Of the ropes I have tried the htp was the only one I managed to get it to operate to a remotely acceptable level. Maybe, my levels and expectations are too high. I work as a contract climber and really...

It was on Sterling 11mm htp. This had been the only rope I have managed to get it to work on properly. Maybe the cams nhave worn a bit and the device needs adjusting. I didn't have the time to delve further and start messing... it was a rigging job, third day of hard climbs in a fairly hot...

Upgrade rain bollards? That is news to me. I have become disenchanted with the Akimbo of late. It sits in the bottom of my bag. I pulled it out the other day. Climbed to about 70 foot on an ash tree. Started to descend to a limb and the thing just wouldn't hold me. I ended up just going...

What setting are you running on the kern? Cheers
