Can't tell if you're having  a dig or a compliment. No offence. Lots of people on here seems to like to put you down so apologies if you're not having a dig.

I asked for help but got let down so was ultra worried about it for weeks. Then I figured Fu** it, I'll do it anyway.

Sometimes climbing will both ends of your rope can be helpful if your strop isn’t long enough to get you higher.

Dunno what you mean mate. 

 

Do you mean anchor hitch a rope from say 2 sides of the tree and then just absail from one end to the other off a lanyard so you can go low or high and cut as you go?

We covered that. using the other end of the rope in the course I was on. I even  had to use it in my CS39 assessment, to get a triangular point. Then while cutting the darn saw was pushing me around to much, So then had to use the strop as well.   I'm not saying I’m good, i5 was just what I had to do..

 

thats if if I understood what your putting down

Buy using the other end of your rope might just get you up a different top in a big tree, would just need to carry a spare pursik or whatever you want to climb on.then while climbing up on that end your main anchor can be slackened off transferring your weight on to your other line. Good effort by the way,
