Vertical Caving &
Climbing Devices Collection Long, long ago I developed an interest in rappelling and ascending devices. At that time, I made the decision to collect one of each device so that I could compare how well they worked. Little did I know what I was getting myself into! I've spend a fair amount of time and money collecting things that really have no real monetary value, and have decided to show some of what I have.
This site is an expression of my hobby and I provide it as a service to the vertical community. Each of the devices on these pages is part of my personal collection. I've used many of these in a variety of test situations as well as caving and climbing, and have formed some opinions of how well each device works for me. I hope that some of the information here is useful to others, but please remember, your needs may be different than mine. I don't run into burning buildings to jump out the windows, I don't play Tarzan of the jungle, and I no longer actively interfere with natural selection. I have no objection to anyone doing these things, but I don't claim to have those forms of experience. If you do any of these, you must acquire your own devices and form your own opinions. |
