wanted rope and harness
May 10, 2016, 03:45:36 pm
Anyone got any spare harnesses I can have my one is fucked after only 6 months of use, also my 80meter rope is now no longer able to get me down from sardine in just 1 year of use.

Would just buy new ones but spent all my money on my van!

How much do you mean by ALL of your money? Nat picked up a WildCountry harness in a sale not so long ago for £20 and I hear you can buy washing line pretty cheap these days.

Someone else recently was wearing a garish Singing Rock harness that he paid very little for...

I've a 60m (I think) lead rope 10mm? That's been sat in a cool, dark, dry place for the last 5-6 years - having only had one gentle week in Costa blanca on its life (it's mint). Yours for a score of you want (I'll never use it..)

Given I've known someone to take their 'new' rope from the bin of a climbing wall I'd say TomTom's offer probably isn't so bad  ;)

:D found the label... It's nothing special but alright (and no wear). It's a BEAL Edlinger II 10.2mm 60m. (Blue ;) )

Looking for a small harness. The rope sounds good. Nice and thick good for dogging. I plan on sitting on the rope a lot.

There seems to be plenty of UK climbers who aren't climbing phenomenal grades, that are sponsored.

Isn't it time you asked for some help from sponsors if you're struggling? You put up loads of videos, you radiate psyche, surely DMM/Wild Country/Scarpa would hook you up if you stick their logo at the start of your vids.

Good luck!

what Cha1n said

if some company wants to demonstrate how much wear and tear their sports climbing gear can take - let Haydn test it out in public

The caller can't have corporate funding otherwise the call may be used to sell more things. Better to have the role of caller funded publicly, perhaps by a "lime license" fee for tor users.

Went to Torbucks today and crimped one of the chossy holds. Connies were PepsiMax so I guess it must be iTime for McLime.

You'd never get this on the grit.
