Work positioning using srt

[tree-fancier123]

draping a line over the top of the whole thing with a big shot and bounce testing a base tie is crude but worked for me, can damage a few bits and bobs if its just a prune

a big shot, static rope, friction system (rope runner, bulldog bone, rope wrench with tether and e2e hitch cord, or ZZ RW combo), foot ascender plus HAAS knee ascender, neck tether to tend, or chest harness, lanyard over the shoulder. An investment of maybe £800 all in and you have something to save you spiking up huge ivy covered nightmare trees (that have to be section felled)

Usefull to have two anchors when branch walking.

How can I do this using srt?

this system looks good, not tried it myself (only due to the cost) - he makes SRT work positioning look easy with this rig

like MattyF said above - he has two SRT systems on the go, a shorter rope for the redirects

Haas, 4srt footloop ,pantin, 4srt neck tether and a RW would be less than £300 ..as long as your climbing line is not from the 90’s that is ... if you want to add every thing and the kitchen sink it would still be hard to spend £800.

£800 isnt a lot for an all in SRT set up, people on XTC+(even 2017 vintage) will need rope too, I bet youve spent near on £2000 on all the bits youve tried - didnt you have a bigshot AND an APTA launcher? Is the APTA launcher better than the bigshot for accuracy?

Big shot all the way mate , I’ve stopped spending now lol , should of stopped at the set up I mentioned ,If any one wants an apta £50.??

Pretty interested how long does it take to pump up with a bike pump?

[MattyF]

Minute or two bill

You want about 200 psi so need a decent pump
