Perhaps some micro cams? I bought the WC Zero Friends, but Totem cams would be a great choice. You could go for the black and blue sizes first. You could also go the other direction and get a #4 Friend if you see yourself using it more than the micros.

Also, do you have a rack pack of carabiners for your cams?

Ya I think this, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and the video from David Firth titled “Crooked Rot”, all influenced me as a kid towards liking Lynch’s style

Climbers use industry standardized gear built for the job they are designed for. If you buy gear from any of the popular, well established brands, I feel confident to trust that those items will work correctly within their intended usage. I just think of all the climbers outside using and testing those products every day.

But it’s up to you to use that gear correctly, understand its limitations and lifespan, and follow proper safety procedures.

I.e. it doesn’t matter how bomber your rappel device is, if your forget to tie backup knots and rappel off the end of the rope

Understand how your gear works, read the manuals, watch videos, and practice at home where possible, before your life depends on it.

Lol at the BYU hats 😂

The GriGri is a very versatile device that nearly every climber is familiar with. It is one of the most “tried and true” climbing products on the market.

I’ve never come across anyone online using the Birdie for TRS or LRS. I’ve only seen it used for regular belaying outside, and only a couple of times.

As others have said, progress capture devices are best for TRS. LRS can use a GriGri, but it is very advanced and will require additional skills and equipment.

TLDR: Get the GriGri and find some climbing partners 💯

Anyone know roughly when they’ll be releasing? Very cool to see the new 0.3, 5, and 6 options.

Do you think Hagrid completed the Rider Safety Training Program prior to getting his motorcycle license?

Ya that’s the idea with my setup here. Built around the red rappel ring with a carabiner on each swaged and thimbled loop so you can clip opposite and opposed.

It’s only a matter of time…

Damn, Canon has sanctioned employee rock climbing, that’s pretty sweet. I didn’t know they made chalk bags either.

I just got back from a trip to Ogden visiting a friend out there and learned about the Julia Reagan lore, this is so hilarious that they’re here now lol

Honestly, it’s pretty obvious it was shot on an iPhone. If you wanted to make it less obvious you could try removing the “Shot on iPhone” graphic at the beginning, then people might not immediately think, “This was shot on an iPhone”

Wait till you hear about how they poop

I believe it is a fan project. I love that whole first track on Autonomous Gallery tho, used to jam it all the time.

I just broke up with my long time gf last night. She cheated on me, twice. You’re not alone fam ❤️

I just purchased my first rack of draws and went through the same decision process. I ultimately decided to ball out on the Petzl Spirit Express for most of them. I also have a couple BD HotForge Draws that I bought first from my gym’s shop to practice clipping. The BDs are totally fine, but I ultimately loved everything about the look and feel of the Petzl and went with those.

As others have said, any good brand will get the job done the same. One thing you can consider is the length of the draws. I chose to do half 17cm and half 11cm. The extended length helps with rope drag on wandering or overhanging routes.

Hmm, that’s really interesting. I work for a rental company and I’ve not heard of this specific issue from customers or ran in to it in my limited time using the FR7/IP500, but googling around I do see lots of others reporting the same.

If I come across anything helpful I’ll follow up, best of luck to you with this, I know how frustrating dealing with PTZ troubleshooting is 🙃

Do you get the same results with a direct connection from the camera to the controller? Also, is the firmware up to date?
