I acquired my Storrick Whaletail from Robert W. Storrick in about 1978.
My Storrick Whaletail is 280 mm. tall, 72 mm. wide, 25 mm. thick, and weighs 710 g. It is milled from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. It has five slots forming six bars. Two milled aluminum safety gates attach by bolts fitted through the whaletail at the second and fifth bars. Each gate is secured by a washer and a wing nut. There is a 20.7 mm. diameter eye at each end.
Neil Montgomery described the Spelean whaletail in Nylon Highway #7, and included a drawing with dimensions. I converted the dimensions from millimeters to inches, and had this whaletail made. Although it is heavy, I've used it caving a number of times, and it has worked well. (It also works for driving tent stakes.)

Hundreds of cell phone users complained and asked me to for a simpler, mobile friendly site. In particular, they wanted me to limit each page to a small number of pictures and minimize my use of text. This new site provides what they asked for.
