Blog Blog Blog!!!!!!

Hey guys its been sometime since i last blog and i realize i got lots of photos that i can upload over here. Thus i shall back track some of the dates that i should have blogged with the pictures.

On sunday (17/12/06) i went for my abseiling level 1 course at Pungol CC. And again you know it is kindly sponsered by PA. PA i luv u la!!!!!!!!!!!! Liling was amazed when i told her on the range of equipments that PA has during the theory session on the monday earlier on. I tried very hard to explain to her how does the different equipment looked like. But due to my poor illustration and her toot toot understanding skills ..... we had a hard time. Thus ive decided to take pictures for her on sunday when i went down for the parctical again.

To my dismay only a few of the whole range are being brought down as they are only bringing the ones that will be used on our level 1 course.

This is another kind of figure-of-eight:

A very nice purple colour pulley:

The only equipment to use for 3 way loading:

(ps: it may look unattractive but 1 CE piece will cost about 40 bucks each)

STOP: To be used in abseiling

(As you can see petzl is very kiasu they have everything printed on the equipment itself)

Alps: To be used in both ascending and decending

Rack: to be used in abseiling

(cool rite look like some musical instrument)

ATC: The legendary stitch plate

STOP: I prefer this colour thats why i took again.

These are the range of equipments we took for our course on that day. Even though it was a level 1 course, but it was still a full day filled with fun fun fun and more fun!

This is the confused instructor. I wanted to po the pictures to demo how to do ascending with the ropes. But i tink is just a reference . Pls orientate ur ropes properly when ur doing demo next time. He looked like a confused kid on the ground tt day seriously.
