Revisiting one of the most underrated climbing videos ever created for the 999th time. We need more climbing videos in this style. No talking, nothing extra, just climbing.
One of my favorite climbing videos, care free and having fun. I've been on the rope runner pro for one year now and it's one of the best things I've come across in the climbing world in my 18 years of service to the industry. Well done and thank you for making it easy on an older climber! Five stars on this device!!
The editing and multiple camera angles make this a truly awesome example of how videos should be done. Like Lawrence Schultz. No junk. No dogs. No talking, just straight-up awesome. Jim H.
Me and my wife just watched this video together.... Thanks Kevin thanks, nows she's asking me "must not be that tired he makes it look really easy" You are the man just got mine today and did my first climbs on it huge fan man!
Man I fancy myself as a climber, not a great one at all but it's how I feed my family... seriously how are you so controlled!!? your climbing is poetry in motion!!!! You make it look way to easy!!!! How!???
Fact: This is one of the most awesome climbing videos ever posted Question: For us mere mortals, could you please name the rope, boots and gloves you're using in this video??
@@treebing49 wow. I have recently got into climbing and trying to figure out how to go out on the end of limbs and you made it look like a walk to the mail box 🤣🤣🤣
Kevin, I am so excited for you that your new Rope Runner is finally going to be released. Now this video on the other hand..... I clicked on and started watching and my wife was laughing at how excited I was to see the new RR in your hand and then you started climbing. I was just as excited to see you playing in the tree as I was to see your new Rope Runner. Dang Kevin, I sure would like to spend time with yourself and a handful of others just "playing" in a big beautiful tree soaking up whatever technique and skills I could. 😎👊❤️🌲 Thanks for teasing us all and getting us sitting on the edge of our seat in expectation. Great video brother! Thanks again and keep yourself safe! Randy
@@treebing49 That really would be great Kevin. 👍 I appreciate your passion for the craft and that you continue to work on the progression of technique and gear that has been and continues to be a huge help to me and so many other climbers. Thanks again and keep yourself safe! Randy
I am pumped to finally see this announced Kev. You’re one of the most inspiring climbers to watch, it brings me back to that first TreeJam. I love your style, it’s constantly humbling me. Cheers buddy. I’ll be buying one to support the evolution. My runners are both like fine wine, I’m betting this will be no different.
I figured I may as well be blunt, since you can just as easily ignore the Q if you so choose -- Kevin, how satisfied are you with the monetary compensation and arrangements you've had while/during/after letting this become a Notch device? Thanks :) (Thanks for everything not just for reading a comment lol, you're a really smart & talented guy actually I've personally benefitted from multiple things I learned in your podcast appearance, not only am I frequently getting clients to get wood chipped to mulch on-site but also am climbing "2 systems" SRT now more often than not, WOW does it increase your mobility in a canopy!!! If you haven't messed with 'treesqueeze' type lanyards yet you should give a try, using a pair of those as your anchors for a 2-SRT system, when in spread canopies, lets you do some crazy stuff!! And honestly they're awesome as fliplines for ascent too, not only are they safer & IMO more comfortable when fliplining up on spurs *but* you can always just "set it" and then it's your climbline anchor so if you encountered an ants' nest you could swap to bailing-out down your line right there, if Buckingham's patent-pending version wasn't scaring the other retailers from making them then this would be as ubiquitous, and considered as much a must-have lanyard, as the venerable "adjustable flipline / friction-saver" we all know & use!)
This is awesome. Just getting into exploring the trees with drt. We have some huge madrones, Big fir and redwoods in our garden which makes a delightful playground.
Mostly a video of how pure your style is. Where’s all the jangly stuff? 🤩 Looks like a great evolution of the device! The RR is still my favorite mechanical dodad.
Hope you can get the CE mark sorted for the euro market, I've been climbing with a rope wrench for over 10 years and a big fan. You can get RR2 here in the UK from what I've heard but because they are not ce certified they are not covered by insurance or can be submitted for loler inspection.
That was absolutely fun to watch. Great job. Well if you were trying to sell rope runner pro. you set the hooks and have me on the line. Really excellent skills. Kevin, you made my heart sing.
Hey Kevin, I was messing around with my RRP and I noticed on one of the inside walls of the bird that there's a small channel where the slic pin goes through. After some futzing around I figured out that if you rotate the bird count-clockwise while pulling on the slic pin (when it's already half-way removed from the RRP), it will allow it to release without having to actually reach inside the bird to release the snaps. I'm guessing that must have been intentional, but is there a reason why this was only added to one wall (which requires the slic pin installation opposite of how it's packaged)? Either way, I thought it was a neat discovery.
So... Kevin, does it come in a steel version for those really high descents? Just saying.... I still want to take the first one off a 850' or higher spot. @KevinBingham
Kevin - you're a special kind of guy. Your inventions and your video come from the heart. When will the RR2 be available? I've never climbed on a Roperunner, but I can I can tell I'm going to like it.
Does this replace a blakes hitch? Can it be used in such a manner? I don't climb srt (yet) and do alot of tree removal with typical blakes hitch setup. Would this be a more efficient option?
I’ll pay you for a lesson!!! How th did you do the traverse when you went from one side to the main stem upside down?? How’d you anchor your tail and retrieve it from that setup?? Freakin awesome stuff man!!!
@@treebing49 Thanks, very cool idea. You could also use a macrame knot from canyoneering, then you wouldn't have to feed the rope through the union first. I'll definitely be using that technique though.
Gonna get this when it’s released without a doubt. So excited about not having to fully remove components to reattach on different redirect legs of rope, or when attaching to a different rope all together.
And for those of us in the UK/Europe, will it have manufacturing / test standard? I suspect part of the problem with this is that it may not fit the standards. I use a rope runner for nearly all of my climbing but here in the UK that can be problematical because it doesn't have a CE mark.
You’re still my favorite to watch climb.

Thank you for all you've done to add to the arborist experience.
This man would make a squirrel jealous 😂...I have no idea how in the world you make it look so easy!!
This video needs an adult content warning, because this is what climbers dreams are made of! Well done Kevin.
. Boy can climb 😁😁
That's some good-looking footlocking!
So much mastery. Cinematography, the climbing, the device. Wow man.
That transition at 3:16-3:18 was just epic man. SICK
AWESOME CLIMB
Comments are on now! Sweet! I loved everything about this Kevin.. you’re a gift and a blessing my man!!
I love it.
product AND especially the guy behind it.
watching interviews/podcasts you surely are one to look up to.
i’m more taken back by the majesty of that tree. holy crap.
Yes, and its dwarfed by some sycamores and a burr oak in the same grove
Me and my wife just watched this video together.... Thanks Kevin thanks, nows she's asking me "must not be that tired he makes it look really easy" You are the man just got mine today and did my first climbs on it huge fan man!
Amigo eres increíble, no me canso de ver tu video! Saludos desde Bolivia!
Awesome. Thank You for all your hard work. BadAss Kevin.
I was happy climbing on a Blake's hitch since 2020. Seen this video now I want to climb like this!
merci kevin belle video i like your mouv style rachidi from france
ok, these are some sick skills.
stay safe!
Perfect job regards from Poland
Bluegrass ballet !! Beautiful. 🏆
Wow Kevin love to watch you climb.
Effortless... flying squirrelesk...🌳💚🌳💚👍👊🌳💚🌳💚
Man I fancy myself as a climber, not a great one at all but it's how I feed my family... seriously how are you so controlled!!? your climbing is poetry in motion!!!! You make it look way to easy!!!! How!???
You have to train with the right person or else you will never learn how this is done.
Congratulations, Kevin! Looks great and it's fun to seeing you flying around in that tree!
That was fun to watch. I had not yet seen any videos like this - good to see what this gear is capable of in the right hands.
thanks for the kind words!
Work of art, Kevin I am speechless, nicely done ❤
Of course, a new one is coming out when I just got mine 5 days ago.
How much did it cost ?
@@albusai TreeStuff said it's going to be the same price as the old one.
5 days after I got the akimbo.....
The King of SRT is back!
Great video production
Man Kevin, I’ve been waiting for this 2 years since you saw my tattoo at the expo and told me about rr2. So excited for this. You rock!!
Looks so dope!!!! Hey I know you!! 🙋🏼♂️
such a great tree to rock in.
Wow. I’m absolutely in love with RRPRO. So sick, really fun watching you float around!
Hi Keving thank's for sharing this amazing video. Have you same news about roperunnerpro Ce ceritfication?
Fact: This is one of the most awesome climbing videos ever posted
Question: For us mere mortals, could you please name the rope, boots and gloves you're using in this video??
tango boots by drayer. cheapest ugly gloves from china, rope is notch dragon. thank you for the words
@@treebing49 wow. I have recently got into climbing and trying to figure out how to go out on the end of limbs and you made it look like a walk to the mail box 🤣🤣🤣
Damn he really makes this tree climbing look fun and easy. Makes me want to try it for sure.
man, very nice video ! you make me dream with this one !
glad you finally got to make your epic
Kevin, I am so excited for you that your new Rope Runner is finally going to be released.
Now this video on the other hand..... I clicked on and started watching and my wife was

Thanks again and keep yourself safe!

NHlocal It is now on my husbands wish list, maybe some day on the product and the chance to climb with you!
Thank you so much for the kind words. Hopefully we can make a climb happen one of these days
@@treebing49 That really would be great Kevin. 👍

This video convinced be to buy a RRP. Fantastic design!

나무위에서 마치 타잔처럼 자유로운 모습이 부럽습니다. 멋집니다!!
Nice Kevin! I was really hoping this would happen. Great climbing too!
That was fucking incredible. Wow. So smooth and confident in every move.
That was flawless, the video speaks for itself, great job Kevin.
Hell yea! How often do you have to replace the Rope Runner Pro?

thank you! yes I am very happy with my financial compensation from Notch.
Thank you for an inspirational video, @Kevin Bingham. Love the Roperunner. What kind of rope would you recomend to use with it?
you sir are the master tree climber
Man you making the rope runner Pro look good, very fit 👌💪
@Kevin Bingham,
When will this be available?
Killing it on the foot lock brother 😀
Very cool Kevin 👍🏻 Now how do I get one before everyone else ? 😬
Not to mention some great old timey clawhammer banjo! Artist credit please!
That looks sweet!
Sick! That looks like some excellent machining. Hope your bringing this to market, or someone is for you.
This is awesome. Just getting into exploring the trees with drt. We have some huge madrones, Big fir and redwoods in our garden which makes a delightful playground.

Cory Petry - Thumbs up for the word dodad. 👍

incredible!!!
Footlockin! Woooo! I can’t wait to buy one!
That was absolutely fun to watch. Great job. Well if you were trying to sell rope runner pro. you set the hooks and have me on the line. Really excellent skills. Kevin, you made my heart sing.
Wow no lanyard needed. Your a boss!
I would love to know how easy the new rope runner will be to buy in the uk I’ve wanted one for years it’s just so hard to get here
Allo Kevin. Am I gonna be able to get one of these CE certified in Europe before my climbing exam in October ?
Hey Kevin, I was messing around with my RRP and I noticed on one of the inside walls of the bird that there's a small channel where the slic pin goes through.

Looks like I'm buying another rope runner 🤘
So... Kevin, does it come in a steel version for those really high descents? Just saying.... I still want to take the first one off a 850' or higher spot. @KevinBingham
would you recommend just this as a single equipment for work? Not even additional prusik knot?
Hey Kevin how’s it going? Fine I hope. I was curious if Rocket line and Cherry bomb are still good ropes for the Pro version of the Runner? Thanks
Looks very good. 👌
Awesome 👏
Who is tending your line?!? 😆😆😆👍
And what line is that? Looks like it gives you good friction but not too much.
I'm also curious about that rope...
Looks like a nicely broken in Notch Dragon

Wondering as well.
th-cam.com/video/TDjjFksC1Zg/w-d-xo.html. Here you go.
@@treebing49 Thanks, very cool idea. You could also use a macrame knot from canyoneering, then you wouldn't have to feed the rope through the union first.
I'll definitely be using that technique though.
@@raphaelbeinhauer9242 usually I use it coming back through a redirect so my line is already thread through. But that is a good point.
@@treebing49 Yeah, I figured. My idea was more of a supplement. Another tool for the right situation.
Nice work Kevin! The Notch version looks great! More refined and sleek with all the smooth edges. Are they doing all the colors too?
Hope this gets a CE mark. Would like one in the UK.
Wow.....how in greyskulls beard did you you traverse back along the climbline? That was savage to watch
J'attends avec impatience que le Rope Runner Pro soit homologué et disponible en France !
The pro just arrived today 😁😁😁😁on vortex see how awesome it is tonight
Gonna get this when it’s released without a doubt. So excited about not having to fully remove components to reattach on different redirect legs of rope, or when attaching to a different rope all together.
Awesome video Kevin! 💪
hi Kevin, nice climbing, how long do it take to become like this ?
Just out of curiosity Kevin, what do you weigh? Also was there ever a time where heights bothered you?
And for those of us in the UK/Europe, will it have manufacturing / test standard? I suspect part of the problem with this is that it may not fit the standards. I use a rope runner for nearly all of my climbing but here in the UK that can be problematical because it doesn't have a CE mark.
It's got a magic button on it... That's for sure! LoL!
What kind of rope is he using with that?
Do we have a pre-order going yet?!?
❤️
Wasn't this just a knock off of the Bulldog Bone. If not how is it different. Should royalties be paid?
The original runner came out before the BDB. However, The Unicender was the first multicender on the market.
That line responds well. What is it?
Pretty sure it's notch dragon. Kernmantle. It's a great single line. Does great on my wrench system I climb on distel.
I need an explanation how to pull off the move at 1:49. If he's pulling with both hands on the line what's slacking the bird?
rope weight, a little assist from my knee
hell of a climb that one.
Roperunnery!
oh yeah-cannot wait!
What's different about this version ?
Innovator badass.
Nice tree
Good job
