I'm surprised at Gerry's comment about the sound quality on your vid Steve, I thought it was OK, Rupes sounds faulty or something, a lot of background white noise.

 

yeah i was too

[Rupe]

The picture is quality . Cool rope trick was that self taught ?

 

Definatly not self taught, learned that one a while back, probably form one of european harness designing friends.

I'm not overly bothered by the sound quality. Editing sound is really hard its much more likely to have a music soundtrack in the future.

What do you think of the cocoon on the rope guide then? Apologies for the derail btw

[Rupe]

It still gets stuck! Have to not do it up too tight.

i couldnt really make out what you did at the end with your rope, did you just stick it on the tail end and pull it around the top limb to save a bit of climbing??

Yes, nothing more to it than that. Its only impressive if done from one side of the canopy to the other through/over many limbs, saving a massive re climb.

i thought thats what it was, i have only ever done it around the trunk or on shorter routes. i would usually just lengthen the prussik right out first, stick the throwbag on the tail and whip it around the branch/trunk and pull it back in. But as you say, if it gets snagged it can be a bit tricky
