I have cams that need reslinging and wanted to order some slings from Fish. I have tried emailing and calling for the last three months. I have never gotten though and never received anything but email autoreply. Are they still in business? Do they actually resling cams and sell stuff?

Forrest safety products does an awesome job.

Not too costly and 1 day turn around. You can see pics of ones they did for me on my profile page in the album called "stuff"

That is so cool Bill Forrest is back doing some climbing stuff. Last I heard he was sticking to snowshoe designs. I still have and use a 55 cm ice axe he made thirty years ago.

I have never used Fish for reslings, but those guys make some really nice products with excellent customer service. Too bad you cant get through.

Thanks.

-Yates won't do them. They are over 10 yrs old (but not even used in the last ten).

From the Forest webpage:

# 27 kN (6,500 lb.) strength
# Easy to handle. 6mm webbing.


6mm webbing at 27kn (6500 lb) strength??? Typo perhaps?

I have some friends that went through Black Diamond to get their cams reslung. They were happy with the finished product.

Just got back 22 cams from Forest some are from 78 my first cams.
As a side note I have some I need cable work done on and they are of different brands. I would rather send them to one place.
any ideas?? Thanks

Pretty sure Bill Forrest the climber spelled his name with two r's, so when someone has a company that spells it Forest, I'd say don't make any assumptions about it being the historically significant climbing guy. I'd think he knows how to spell it...

Too bad you're not this dude

Send your cams to 6564 Pine Springs Ave., 29 Palms CA 92277. Detailed pricing, shipping info & instructions found here

Please note that if you are particular about the color used it's best to pick up your own webbing and send it in with the cams. Otherwise, for a dollar more (per) you can save yourself the trouble and be hooked up with webbing from stock. Stock colors change on a regular basis so your guess is as good as mine.

When shipping your cams please be sure to include IN THE BOX the following:

-Your name
-Your email address
-Contact telephone number
-Ship to address
-DROP DEAD DATE FOR RETURN
-Billing information for PayPal invoice &/or cc information
-Webbing width preferred (1" 11/16" or 5/8")
-Providing your own webbing? Tie 11" of preferred color to each cam

Omitting any of the following will only delay the repair and/or return (see "Dude" above)

Repairs can be done at the same time, be sure to indicate if you want one side or two.

Note: No Alien Repairs. Cams that require cables to be drilled out or soaked for hours due to corrosion may be subject to additional charges.

Need slings order online using our online order form.

Emailing for 3 months?!! What address are you emailing to? What is your email address? Perhaps you are getting blocked along with most of Germany and Russia or getting dumped into a catch-all account that doesn't get monitored.

email info@fishproducts.com for faster service.

p.s. Rich.....ummm hello. Send cams to us using instructions provided.

See this for more info:

Will do Ben....

until then, if you see this:

Can you send me a generic email to: info @ widefetish com

I would like to see the headers on your emails. Use both your accounts if you can. This server is different than the FISH one and will hopefully yield some better results.

We are mostly out of the office until xxxxxx. Please adjust your panic accordingly.

Can I use this?

yates website says they won't do old cams, but i sent some rigid stem friends to them that were at least 25 years old, and they reslung them without any comments. i think they are just putting a disclaimer of sorts out there. they did a great job, for cheap, and very quickly - i highly recommend them.

Yeah Rich, send those units to the animal guy. I, personally delivered a stack 'o' cams; to our buddy the Colonel (some of which you and I, and Fred, and that Sanders guy, among others, have climbed actual walls with) and he did more than okay by the Colonel.


Get this, you guys; his style is quirky (a plus, in my book) but his work is second to none!
