forrest_m Posted May 9, 2003 Posted May 9, 2003 I’m sitting here watching some guys hang a big billboard-type ad on side of the building across the alley from my window. They’re all decked out in that stuff from the industrial part of the petzl catalogue. Two rope technique, a Stop on the working rope, with a Shunt with a shock absorber as a backup on the safety line. I’ve seen their van down at the UW climbing wall, so I figure the company is mostly climber-dudes. Besides, they look like climbers. There’s a guy dangling about 15’ from my window and I’d bet money that the bosch bulldog hanging from his harness with 1” tubular webbing sees some extra-curricular use on the weekends… Anyone know anything about this company? Who runs it? Only thing I can find on the web is an Australian company with the same logo but no seattle info. vertigo web page Seems like a fun way to make a living, like doing those Greenpeace actions but without the risk of getting arrested.
