bye bye vt hello spiderjack

[old snake]

srt is something im really keen on trying but down here in cornwall there aint many guys using modern methods to climb , whan is the next arb show and lets have some oppinions on a smaller diamiter rope that i can use with my lock jack

 

SRT is something im gonna really get into in the new year:thumbup1:

 

Now to the thinner ropes! haha. I climb using a vt and a lockjack and i run them both on tachyon(new england and teufleberger). The tachyon is 11.5mm and is by far my favourite rope!! Its way better than marlow which i cant stand!!

Its very light and there's hardly any stretch in them. Now i can splice double braid its even better!!

Alot of people also climb on blaze which is 11mm. Ive never climbed on it myself but i think its just that little bit too thin.

Hope that helps a bit!! haha

 

Merry christmas mate:thumbup:

Your already pretty modern:biggrin: by the sounds of things by using the effcient albiet not my cup of tea Lockjack and ropeguide combo, your throwlining and have ascenders so SRT is just a natural progression and really its not that hard yet addictive once your into it.

well i may well have to give some of you a shout and pop up for a couple of days , it would be great to have a look and see how some of you use the srt system as im aware there are several different ways to set these systems up

No worries bud,you wont regret buying the tacyon.

Im in the same boat as you with the SRT thing. Would love to be using it at our place but dont know anyone round here that uses it to show me the best ways of using it:sneaky2:.

Might just have to buy the kit and spend a few hours pratting about on the park!! haha

A basic system is usually a hand ascender(left or right),a chest ascender like a croll and a pantin or footloop.....oh yeah and a rope and harness:001_tongue:

There is alot of variatons though from what ive read on here. Im sure someone alot more clued up than me will come along and put us straight:biggrin:
