Peter,
Welcome to ENTS! Maybe we could meet up on a northern US climb this fall. I am interested in your tip on Zing-it. I un-spooled a new line during the climb and after three throws it was very cooperative. I usually stretch it a bit but in the forest and time-sensitive situation I opted to try to set a line instead. With the 1.75 mm line and a 12 ounce bag I was able to hand-throw into the range of the ~110 foot set Andrew hit with the slingshot. Will F.

I'm a new one here, not in the same country, so I watch from afar. Even as a working Arborist, I never pass up the opportunity to climb trees, and I would like to participate in climbs like this if they where a lil closer. I noticed a snarl of Zing-it and would offer a tip if using new throw lines for the first time, specially in a forest location......
