I just got some darts used. I looked at petzl's website and online and I can't find out how to set them up and use them properly. I'm going to mess with them some more tonight but can someone give me a pointer or two??
Thanks!
Brent
EDIT. it seems like you have to put the rear bail on first. I think i got them working. They are rather finicky, but i think they will be great. I always wanted to try these because the rear clip on terminators always got in the way of the tiny heel spur.

It is a very secure system. On a pair of old Darts when all of them came with a spur *cough* *ahem* *cheating* they felt great when I did bat hangs, and I'm a hair over 200lbs
Dude, don't you know that you're supposed to cut the spurs off??? :shock:
:D

I'm starting to get worried, we all like the kid, but Brent is worrying me a bit. He's not climbing much then he starts ordering spurs, which are for horses. It's starting to sound a little bit too much like a movie I've heard of. Brent + spurs = possible cowboy tendencies.... :shock: :wtf:
Next thing you know he's out with Nate say "I wish I could quit you" :shock:

ahhh, Graham, that's too bad! how's business going, anyway?
I've had the chance to use your pack a few time and while it's not as simple to use as some other ones it's been really good.

business is pretty good. I've got a bunch of new packs coming out --45liter, new 40liter, new 20liters and some spectra packs-- but it's a lot of work. Not that i thought it wouldn't be a ton of work...
i'm trying to do the new website now. i really should find a web dude and get them to do it!
and i'm looking for pictures of the packs in action!
did you read the wiki? did it help? i've really got to sort that out too...

good about the new packs! maybe you'll make a spectra pack that someone can actually afford! :lol:
I did read the wiki a few times. It helped, for sure. I still think i may have it set up a little off, but it feels better. The only problem I have is cinching the straps. I should likely just get buckles from somewhere that you can just pull to tighten. The ones on the pack are a little too finicky for me.

Will is great!
Climbing around him is alway fun. The guy really loves life and is Alway stoked to be out climbing. His attitude is contagous that's for sure. You can't help but be stoked.
If you've never seen him give a slide show go to one... especially when he just walks into the room as starts off by saying "What a Stellar F*&KIN DAY!!!"
Hint... when he does that look around at all the prudish, executive, and bornagain types to get a really good laugh.
As for spurs... I've climb with them, but I don't really get on anything that I need them for, I like the style of not using them more personally, and besides they get real scary when you're in and out of figure4's :shock:
