SRT kits

Gone for the Picos harness as Amazonia's out of stock. Have to say The quality of service is fantastic. Tony Seddon provides great communication (even at 11pn). Thx for the recommendation Tim.

yer to be fair he's a top fella to deal with. I've always been totally blown away by his customer service and his prices are always right too.

from above - r.e. fig 8. I've got several and have used them often enough in certain circumstances but other than wearing themselves out at an alarming rate on muddy/gritty ropes and getting stupidly hot (melting sheaths) on long descents, the other major issue with them is that they twist the rope like crazy right the way along its length which it a major headache and is in my opinion the biggest reason they are frowned upon for srt - particularly where the rope is tied into a rebelay etc below the decent making the twist that much more of an issue.

 its more of an issue than peeps think  . if your on a 50 metre pitch to a re-belay, by the time you get with-in 2 metre's of the re-belay the rope will be that twisted you would be hard pushed to reach the re-belay, you would have to push the rope through the 8to try and get rid of the twist.
ok-ish on small pitches

My SRT kit has arrived today. If I bring it the Glan tomorrow night can Captain help with some fine tuning. The new croll's are half the size of the older versions.
