How do you pre-order them? I thought RE was selling them on a first come, first serve basis? Still trying to find the ideal rope with the one that I have. May try KMIII Max next.

No worries Stig, I won't blow up again...and I am really sorry about that. Yes, I did read through this whole post (took me awhile) and there sure is a lot of great info here. I used the Akimbo in SRT and Dbdt climbing on Sat. Climbing on Cherry Bomb. Went well, but I also have some Sterling...

Probably already been answered, but has anyone tried the Akimbo in a Dbdt rope climbing system?

Thanks guys. I have a length of Cherry Bomb that I was using for Bing's Rope Runner that I may try out as well. I believe its a little of 11 mm.

Was able to get my hands on an Akimbo. Haven't had a chance to read through this whole thread yet, but was wondering what you guys/gals like for lines to use with it and if there are any tips/tricks to pass on? Thanks.

I don't know Burnham. I think you and Stig are both going strong. I just hope that I can continue to climb like you guys when I am in my 60's. Ever since my heart attack 6 months ago, I just don't seem to feel the passion like I used to. Sorry for the derail...I will post more about it later on...

We'll have snow soon enough, here in NH...and hopefully the Akimbo as well!:lol:

So Rock Exotica is still saying that the Akimbo will be out sometime in the fall, yet the website doesn't have any info on it. Not sure why?

I know, that's what I said too B. And the Akimbo looked really beat as well. Guys were shittin on the seller. No one is getting my Fundamentals book Jer until I die.

Sold for $550

My apologies Stig and Burnham. I am usually not so thin skinned. Burnham, I was in the process of replying to your post, but saw you just posted. All is good guys, just been a hard-assed week.

Chill out Stig. I am not trying to invent any kind of imaginary problems. Just hear that from someone who has one and yes its very easy to clean pitch off metal. Like I told Jaime, I WILL be buying one of my own as soon as they come out.

Makes sense to me. Early fall still the planned release date?

Hey Jaime, I've heard from a user that once the Akimbo gets dirty and filled with any type of pitch, it reacts 100% differently and you have to adjust both bollards. Have you had any experience with this? I haven't used one yet and definitely still plan on purchasing one, I am eagerly waiting...

Well, at least we know it will be available...someday. :)

Glad to hear it. When I get mine, I will be testing it on my own SPRAT workstations that I have setup at my yard. I am also working on getting on the SPRAT sub-committee for the gear section, which may help to open up some minds in the industrial climbing world to the new multiscender tools...

Jaime, can you see the Akimbo being used in the rope technician world (aka SPRAT and IRATA)?

Still can't wait to buy one when they become available.

I just like the idea of using both sets of climbing skills to better manage my daily routines with "muscle memory". I know it doesn't really make sense but that is just me :) Most climbers in multiple disciplines tell me that I should keep the methods separate, but I still like the idea of...

Thanks for the info.
