Learning about rigging

[Rich Rule]

Also the working climber DVD box set by Gerry Beranek.  An outstanding piece of work.

 

Again, very American, but the principles are the same .

Here is a link to a thread on the treehouse.  It explains how the digital edition came about and the process of producing it.  There is also a link at the bottom of the first post.

ain't that the truth!  Good ground guys are as hard to come by as good climbers!

Harder, I reckon.

 

To the point that if I needed a solid bloke for rigging it would be easier to use a climber.

I’d rather have a decent climber on the rigging device anyway if it was a complicated operation or a compromised tree as they can read what your doing better , know the loads and what the result of taking lumps off so will let it run or wind it up when needed..it should be common sense but I can think of only one non climbing groundy I would have and trust 100% as opposed to most skilled climbers with experience that I would trust... good climbers make good groundies as they actually look and understand what your doing better in most circumstances .. although helmet coms can make a huge difference, it gets tiresome explaining your every move and wether or not it actually sinks in as I think personally as soon as you stop instructing some people will stop thinking.
