Today was my first go with the foot plates and i have to admit that I kind of liked them. The was was a small Silver Maple and it only took me about 45 to remove. It will be interesting to see how they feel after a couple of hours. My new boots should be here any day so I should be a new man...

The funny thing is that I started using a chain link with a biners years ago..... long before the F8Revolver ever came around. I guess that's an old caver or rock climbing trick. It works great for descending, better than any other descended IMO. I always backed it up with some type of friction...

I have tried every single different combo that I can think of. I used 4 different hitch cords with countless different hitch combinations. I was very frustrated and that's when I kind of gave up on the SRT thing. I guess I haven't been totally defeated because I am still open to trying it, just...

Stupid phone. That was supposed to say that I wouldn't dream of doing a removal without an adjustable FC. I am guessing weight factors in. I go 250 with gear and i can't get SRT tools to work for me. Just ascenders.

New boots are in my very near future and my orthotics were ordered Thursday but take several weeks to arrive. I have some big removals scheduled before the orthotics will be in and I guess it takes a while for the orthotics to work so I want something for the mean time. I am not sure about...

I would even dream of doing a removal on spikes without an adjustable false crotch of some type. Wooden Wrench.... thought of trying that but just haven't tried it yet. I kind of like the F8 Revolver but it's not smooth enough for me. I really think that my weight is an issue with lots of...

I think once the HH is out I will find the time to learn. I do like SRT to ascend and have done that for years. I just really like the looks of the HH so I will wait. Am I under estimating the use of SRT for spineless removals?

Ddrt here. I am kind of stuck in a rut with regards to new climbing techniques. I just don't have the time or energy to make the switch right now. Not to mention I am not sold on the wrench. I will wait until a better method comes along.......... hopefully that day comes soon.

Good advice. I was at the foot doc again today and the only advice she gave me was to get boots with thick soles. She must know feet, but she doesn't know crap about tree climbing or spikes.

Does anyone have a set of foot plates they want to sell? I know they don't have the best reputation in the world but I want to give them a try. With my foot pain getting worse by the day and 3 weeks of removals upcoming, I need to anything to help make it through the day. If you have a set, pm...
