snatching

[monkey boy]

hi guys wat is snatching or snatch rigging somthing like that:confused1:

[Rupe]

Its just when you take a top out on a lowerign line, the line goes slack for a bit and then "snatches" tight again. This is the way most likely to snap ropes, break riggign point or throw the climber around, especially if done in the old school meathod of wrappign the lowerign line round the tree.

 

Its best to minimise this snatch as much as possible or completly by usign a decent lowerign bolloard and havign a groundie who knows what he's doing. Then snatchign is not really snatching anymore its just controlled lowering of a section form above the riggign point.

 

Therefore snatchign is a fairly outdated term but probably still in use all over the place.
