    Nice to know. I just always used a rope carefully till it “broke in”.

    I think you’re gonna love it Fi. I had one on a loan for a few days. My experience was great except for getting it to open to release my rope. I think a lot of this was due to improper settings and possibly the fact that I had the franken-kimbo. One of the earliest versions with some of the...

    Was that because of pitch or to wear the splinters off of the rope. I was taught on three strand but glad it wasn’t the old Manila rope. I had enough of that shit in the BSA. I had to make my own rope out of bailing twine and then use it all week for my knots and splices to eat my meals. I have...

    I like nuts and bolts as well. They make for more serviceable parts, provided they are able to be purchased. Of course many of my Chevy parts are held Together with rivets but replacements are bolted on.

    Might as well keep tinkering with it if it's gonna be a while to the release date. I got to play with one for a few very short minutes at the expo. I can't remember who's it was but he let me hang in a saddle at one of the multiple ropes from the ceiling. Tended so smooth and was so easy for a...

    Got a spare one just laying around collecting dust Jamie? I can put it to use.

    Jamie do you think that RE might have one to look over in Baltimore? Kinda like the transporter last year? I know that they are good for giving us a tease and then releasing things a few months later. I'm still kicking myself on the gofundme thing:banghead: X10

    Jamie can you say if they will have any to handle by the expo? I'm truly holding out for the akimbo to be my first mechanical. I missed out on the go fund me but I want to get one as soon as they come out just to piss off Mr flashy gear at work:lol:

    Liking this thing more and more. Now to start squirreling away some MDK money for when it hits the market

    People tend to get agitated once they have money involved. It's understandable, to a point. Jamie announced this masterpiece to the world less than a year ago. Haven't we waited on the THT to hit the market for longer than that? Take your time Jamie. I'm patiently waiting.

    I'm patiently waiting. I f'ed up and missed the opertunity to get in on this thing early on. I just need to get one before my " flashy gear" co-worker does. So keep us notified and keep up the fine work

    im just curious as to how many are gonna need to be break tested for "mass" production. I can respect either route you choose. I'm sure finding a manufacturer like CMI takes a lot of pressure off and liability as well. There is also something to being able to say " I made that", that I fully...

    Congratulations man. I'm sure the rest of the guys (and gals) will understand waiting a little while.

    Looks sweet. I won't volunteer to test it though. I'm not quite ready for that yet. Remember I was on a taught line up till a little over a year ago. Still a bit behind the new age. I'm glad there are climbers out there who can think this stuff up and bring it to life.
