That bottom pic looks a right tangle, why cant the second hitchclimber just be on a long lanyard?

Long descends to a work station I guess?

Not studied it yet as kids are demanding my attention.. looks interesting at a glance though.

Going to have to have a mega long rope mind.. lots of re attachments through work stations. Potential for errors? Just throwing it out their... not seen or used this set up before..

seems like the whole thing falls apart at requiring one to throw the throw ball twice to get into the tree.  thats just never going to happen.  I consider myself lucky when I can get one shot. but two????

Looks like initially assent would be achieved as standard SRWP methods then utilizing the second hitchclimber system as would with a re-direct. 

 

Yea I'm lucky if I can isolate one shot too. Massive pain to isolate two I agree if that is indeed how the set up is required/intended to be used.

Still would have an issue with dynamic re-direct forces so not as bomb proof as afforded with SRWP imo.

Oh well...

those images look interesting, recon a sling and krab round the redirect branch would work better for friction and also you wouldnt have to put the whole of your rope round the branch.

might see if it works with the bulldog bone and just a simple prussic for the second anchor drt bit.

thanks for the share.

more or less??

Heart attack, chemo, septis, stem cell transplant and pneumonia within the last twelve months 

I'm only fifty three but it may take some time before I'm fit enough to do anything else except aerial inspections.

 

I reckon I'm so lucky that HSE should acspellingcept that I only need a single line

 I realised you had good reason never to consider climbing again, missed the heart attack.
