Getting back in from a limb walk using SRT

Recommended Posts

I've been playing around with SRT for some time now using a rope wrench and vt.  All in all I am a total convert but I occasionally run into difficulty returning from limb walks.  These are typically long limb walks along dropping branches.  For the most part I am ok but where I run into trouble is at the end of a long day where my muscles are fatiguing.  Jumping off the limb and swinging into the trunk isn't always an option.  What do you guys use to make it easier in these situations please?

All that jazz requires planning though.

I find line angle is everything.

With a good (think vertical as possible) angle I can dance back in like Michael Jackson on speed (before he died, obviously).

With a bad, flat line angle I’ll come in like a sloth that’s been tranquilized.

Bum-shuffling, straddling the limb, hanging under it from my strop, bent over it with my guts on it like a dead cowboy in a Western etc.

Whatever gets you home, man.

Go to the gym or start pulling your pudding!

Either way you'll get bigger arms.

Or take the easy option...tarzan swing.

Senseable answer 2:1 with little prussik and a biner,or a rope grab,hand ascender etc...

Pudding pulling is best though...

 

'Pull your pudding' ?? nearly made me choke on my tea ?
