                 The manufacturer  ISC  has issued a product support update regarding the  REFLEX  climbing device. Because your safety is our top priority, here is a quick summary of the essential facts: 
 The Issue: Accelerated Wear 
 Some users have reported  performance fade and unexpected slippage . ISC&#039;s investigation found that certain devices experience accelerated wear on the upper links (the components responsible for gripping the rope). This is  not  a manufacturing defect, but rather usage-related wear. 
 Main Causes: 
 This wear is significantly accelerated by operating conditions such as: 
 
 
 Extended or repeated high-speed descents 
 
 
 Operation in dirty, gritty, or abrasive environments 
 
 
 Lack of additional friction (where appropriate) or dirty ropes 
 
 
 What do you need to do? 
 
 
  Inspect Regularly:  Do not rely solely on the device&#039;s age or time-in-service. Pay close attention to any changes in grabbing performance. 
 
 
  Safety First:  If your REFLEX exhibits slippage or performance degradation that cannot be resolved by cleaning,  remove the device from service immediately and contact ISC!  
 
 
 ISC is actively working on long-term solutions and is committed to supporting affected customers.

                 Safety Update for the ART BlackBird 
 ART calls on all  BlackBird owners  to replace the  upper bearing pin of the friction enhancer  and the  corresponding screw . In isolated cases, variations in material strength were found that could eventually lead to a fracture. There is  no immediate risk of falling , but the replacement should be carried out  promptly . 
 The  free replacement kit  with instructions will be available from  week 45  and can be requested by email at  info@climb-art.de . 
 In addition, ART now offers a  reinforced stainless-steel side plate  to improve the so-called “nose” of the friction enhancer. This upgrade will be available  free of charge  from  week 49 , directly through ART. 
 All future BlackBirds will be shipped with these enhanced components already installed.

                 On January 18, 2024, the manufacturer COURANT released an inspection notice regarding the seams at the splices of their Kalimba, Kanopa and Komora ropes. We would like to give you some information about our certified manual splices and seams. 
 Unlike Courant&#039;s machine stitching on their ropes, our stitching at DRAYER is handmade. They are barely visible (see image 2), you may see a piece of the red Dyneema thread used on one side of your connection. 
 With our splicing method, this seam is not a safety element. All of our certification and normative tests are performed on joints that do not have hand stitches. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 &amp;nbsp; 
  This is the official warning from the manufacturer Courant.  
 Attention customers,&amp;nbsp; 
 we need you to perform an important safety check. Please inspect the splices on your Courant ropes, specifically looking for the lock-stitch at the splice point. ✅ 
 If the lock-stitch is visible, your rope is ready to use. ❌ If it&#039;s missing, please stop using the rope and contact us immediately at Dealer&#039;s Contact Information.

                 Our trade fair season started successfully in April with  Forst Live  in Offenburg. This event was a great beginning for us. Despite the weather not always being on our side, we had plenty of visitors at our booth. 
 Our products generated a lot of attention and interest, especially our treeAustria Pro arborist harness. It was fantastic to receive so much positive feedback and see the high demand for quality tree climbing equipment. 
 Next up were the  German Tree Care Days  in Augsburg. As always, we were there showcasing our products. 
 This time, our focus was not only on the treeAustria Pro but also on our well-established treeSave tree cabling system. And you know what? As expected, both received a great response. Visitors also had the opportunity to see the new SIP Canopy AIR-GO protective trousers, Tango climbing ropes, and &quot;I care 4 trees&quot; T-shirts. 
 The Tree Care Days 2023 in Augsburg were a lot of fun, and we are already looking forward to next year in 2024. 
 Collaborating with French tree climbers is of great importance to us. That&#039;s why we sponsor  regional tree climbing championships in France  and are pleased to be present at almost all of these events. It is always an amazing experience to witness the talent and passion of French tree climbers firsthand. 
 We are a significant manufacturer, distributor, and point of contact for tree care among our French customers. 
 In May, it was time for the  German Tree Climbing Championship , which is always a highlight for us every year! It&#039;s always a special moment when the best German tree climbers come together for exciting competitions. 
 This year, the championship took place in Bad Salzelmen near Magdeburg, and we were thrilled with the choice of venue. The small, beautiful park provided a breathtaking setting with many impressive trees. It was a true joy to be there and witness the competitions. 
 Congratulations to Eva-Maria Mauz on becoming the German Tree Climbing Champion! Her performance impressed us all. We would also like to extend our congratulations to James Kilpatrick for earning the title of German Champion. Both of them climbed their way to the top with their skills and passion, deserving the recognition. 
 Were you not able to attend? Do you want to see some impressions from the German Tree Climbing Championship? Or were you there and just want to watch a report about the championship? Then we recommend the video by Bastian Bade.

 From June 2nd to 4th, the  French National Tree Climbing Championship  took place in Salon-de-Provence. As a manufacturer and sponsor, we were present to support this exciting event. 
 We would like to thank all the climbers and especially the many volunteers for their tremendous efforts. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
  What&#039;s next?  
 Two more major events are on the horizon: the European Championship and the World Championship in Tree Climbing. 
 The  European Championship  will take place in Slovakia from June 29th to July 2nd. The best climbers in Europe will compete for the coveted title. We will be there, eagerly awaiting to see who will be crowned the European Champion. 
 The  World Championship  is also just around the corner. From August 11th to 13th, things will heat up in Albuquerque, USA. The world&#039;s best tree climbers will come together to conquer the ultimate title. 
 But that&#039;s not all! We are also looking forward to the  Tree Climbing Championship in Austria  from August 18th to 20th, where we will be present. Another regional championship will also take place in France. From September 29th to October 1st, tree climbers will have the chance to showcase their skills in Bourg de Péage. 
 The grand finale! From November 16th to 19th, the  TCI Expo  2023 in St. Louis, USA, marks the last highlight of the year, and we will be there once again! 
 The TCI Expo is one of the most significant events in the tree climbing industry, and we can&#039;t wait to showcase our products to the American audience. It&#039;s always a fantastic opportunity to connect with tree care professionals from around the world, exchange ideas, and discover the latest developments in the industry.

                 The company DRAYER Fachhandel für Baumpflege und Seiltechnik asks all users of the treeAustria 3.2 tree climbing harness to&amp;nbsp;regularly check, that the bolts of the two stainless steel shackles are correctly tightened (see picture). 
 The bolts are correctly tightened when the applied red lacquer point forms a uniform surface.&amp;nbsp;It has been reported by a single user that one of these bolts came loose without further action. The shackles carry load and are therefore highly relevant to safety. 
 That&#039;s why DRAYER wants to inform every user of the treeAustria 3.2 tree climbing harness about this fact and ask them to check the bolts regularly for correct fit and retighten them if necessary.
