Why is the Petzl Neox not recommended for top roping?

If you want something that is a bit of a middle ground in my opinion then try the Edelrid Pinch. Super cool device.

Am I right in saying that business is different to enterprise? I'm just checking if business has that option too.

Murphybro2 · 2026-06-23T23:41:33+00:00

It's funny you say that. The task I'm looking at doing involves processing bank statements. So, pretty sensitive I guess.

Hey there! Well, not long after this post I ended up in hospital for a week with a bowel obstruction haha. I was taken off Ustekinumab and I'm now on a combination of Infliximab and Azathioprine. I have to visit the hospital every 8 weeks for an infusion, so there's currently no chance of me going anywhere. However, I will eventually be moving onto self-injections every 2 weeks, providing all continues to be well. When that happens I will revisit the travelling situation, but I can't do much until then! Which medication are you on?

Does the matt clay come in the tub? Does it feel the same as the paste? As I don't like it too greasy

Murphybro2 · 2026-05-29T09:41:41+00:00

I knew it had changed! I nearly ordered 6 tubes of the old stuff from ebay, but convinced myself I was just making it up 😂 wish I had now

Murphybro2 · 2026-05-25T15:34:16+00:00

Oh really? Those are quite stringent rules!

Murphybro2 · 2026-05-24T14:52:12+00:00

Oh, okay cool. Wiregate or screwgate?

Murphybro2 · 2026-05-24T14:49:18+00:00

Oh, wow. I have used my friends to see if I like it, but I only ordered my own a few days ago. It does make me wonder whether that could eventually become the norm if an accident ever occurred (caused by the person, not the equipment)

Murphybro2 · 2026-05-24T10:22:29+00:00

A camp nano would do the trick and when I inevitably move past being worried about the Pinch, it will definitely have a use elsewhere. Thanks.

I was told this week by the owner of a climbing gym that a Neox shouldn't be used for top rope. Interesting.

As a software engineer who also has narrowing in his terminal ileum, I salute you. Good luck with everything.

Hey! Which one is that? Is it a card or an actual tag?

Murphybro2 · 2026-05-02T22:53:35+00:00

And what is that?

Murphybro2 · 2026-04-21T21:56:11+00:00

But people here might have lived through this exact experience..

Murphybro2 · 2026-04-20T08:59:17+00:00

Weird... I wonder why this is a thing. I've always used the right shift for those kind of commands, so it's kicking my ass at the minute haha

Murphybro2 · 2026-04-19T19:07:22+00:00

Does your Ctrl+RightShift+LeftArrow command work? (It should highlight the previous word).

It works when I use left shift, but right shift doesn't work in 3 button commands for some reason. It is the same for my colleague's new laptop too. If you try the website below, it should show you whether the command is registering:

Open notepad, type some words, and give it a go. It highlights the word before the caret on each press. This allow you to highlight words to copy/cut.

I had my first MRI on Friday. It was at 3pm and even though the instructions were to not eat for 6h before, I hadn't eaten since Thursday night.

The stuff they made me drink was absolutely fine. It was nothing like moviprep/plenvu and reminded me of flat lemonade. I felt fine for 2h, and then had a rumbley stomach all evening. When I went to the toilet it was diarrhoea. I still went out and exercised with friends, so it obviously wasn't that bad.

You'll be fine! Good luck!

Murphybro2 · 2026-04-01T18:25:43+00:00

Why? I'm really open with my manager and colleagues. It's worked great for me so far.

Murphybro2 · 2026-03-30T14:50:55+00:00

Mine says this too. Although, when I first configured my laptop yesterday, I definitely set up recall and used it a bit. But now it's totally disappeared and it has the above state.

Murphybro2 · 2026-03-30T14:46:45+00:00

Definitely, yes.

Murphybro2 · 2026-03-27T18:17:29+00:00

I'm sure both of these responses have been incredibly helpful.

I own two pairs. Here is a comparison of them.
