Steve Morris @rockhardware_steve is the man for climbing gear and outdoor equipment. Being local I get my climbing gear from Steve, with in-depth advice on options and correct use. If you sadly don’t live in Central Victoria you can check out Steve’s newly revamped online store. Though historically interesting the old online store from the nineties has been replaced with a slick and easy to use interface; along with Steve’s great prices it’s worth a visit.

Dawn fro the portaledge. Great sleep on a full moon night. Though my mk2 ledge is too complicated and heavy the taut mat makes it bloody comfy!

Camping out at Mount Buffalo

#thebigcanopycampout @canopycamp

Awesome in the box-ironbark canopy. A few very old trees surrounded by post colonial regrowth. I made it about 1/3 way up a Candelbark or possibly a Manna gum. Amazing spending a bit of quiet time in my local forest - even heard a koala and finally got to see snow up there. #thebigcanopycampout @canopycamp

Just starting to feel my toes again now I’m home and dry. #thebigcanopycampout @canopycamp

Snow on Mt Alexander! #thebigcanopycampout @canopycamp

Portaledge 2 side stretch system. It works well on the ends but the load on the middle stretcher pivot point has distorted it. Overall it’s too complicated and heavy though the mat tensioning works well. My first attempt was more comfortable but less dimensionally stable - you learn each time! Got a whole new direction for portaledge 3 - its on my long list of prototypes to get too one day!

Breaking out portaledge 2 for @canopycamp tomorrow night. Haven’t slept on this since Ozymandias attempt. Picked out a big Candlebark tree up on Mt Alexander. Got my excellent book from the Friends of the Box-Ironbark Forests to brush up on local Eucalypts. Check out and support www.thebigcanopycampout.com Climbing and supporting forrest awareness is a rare synthesis between our two business- Climb Design and @usethings #thebigcanopycampout #worldlandtrust

36 hour holiday to Hobart: managed to fit in a visit to John @bigwallgear Awesome design and engineering in the range of portaledges. These are the best on the planet! #aidclimb #aidclimbing #bigwallclimbing

Excellent gear bag from @industrialsewingworkshop

One of many experiments - my favourite bit of design and product development. This device was to grip the edge of a flake for #aidclimbing It was a fail! But leads me in new directions. I love dreaming up new gear, but most of it doesn’t make it to market. Full story on the website #aidclimb #bigwallclimbing #bigwall

Checking out the double tape knot on @aussiemadefabrics massive pull test machine. A knotted sling made in their 22kN nylon tube tape. You can see the stretch, surprisingly no slip in the knots. The break occurred inside the knot at an impressive 29.4kN. I expected much lower for a knotted sling. Tried one with a single tape knot and got 27.9kN. Thanks to crew @aussiemadefabrics for indulging my experimentation! I love breaking stuff! #rockclimbing #sling #knot

Double tape knot to reduce risk of a single knot snagging and releasing. See article on climbdesign.co. #knots #tradclimbing #rockclimbing

How to rack a 4m sling - the movie! 400cm dyneema sling #knots #tradclimbing #rockclimbing

How to rack a 4m sling: halve it a few times till it’s 1/2m long, keep the end loops organised so you can clip a carabiner in each end. Hold it straight and twist the sling between the carabiners then clip one to the other and the sling lays-up into a bundle. 400cm dyneema sling #knots #tradclimbing #rockclimbing
