srt set up

[John Shutler]

this is my set up

11mm mammut power static access line

 

petzle lefthand ascender(note: you do not actually hold the ascender you put your hand through the loop and hold the access line, using your hands is only really keeping you upright and to advance the footloop thats attached to it)

 

croll(when you stop the croll holds your weight the krabs and short slings attach on the points to the left and right of your bridge if you are using the treemotion)

 

the bit of elastic on the croll goes around your neck and kinda keeps it in position, variation on rupes inner tube idea which i used to use

 

footloop

 

pantin

 

the ascender backs up the croll

great stuff john thanks for that , i will be buying a couple bit and pieces in the new year and giving it a go , do you tend to take up another rope thats set up for double rope system ? probaby a daft question but im totally new to srt

[John Shutler]

i tend to take up my climbing line in another bag, srt as far as i can climb the last little bit to top anchor then drop my climbing line down in the bag. im sure someone else can give you more info but you have to be aware of the forces your srt anchor point is being subjected to

i see what your saying , i will have to have a good look into setting it up i think !!

Thanks for that John much appreciated. Best get the shopping list ready for when i get back to work!! haha.

The webbing slings are a great idea too!!

not tempted but two handled ascenders and two pantins? very quick but complicated,

 

i have only ever climbed on srt type setups for installing pine marten and bird boxes, using the set up in your pics and its a nice easy set up that us fatties can use for getting into the tree easily,

So you use that set up on a treemotion John by attaching the 2 biners on short slings to the central side D,s (not the hip D,s something unique to this type of harness).

 

Instead of a sling tetherr to the handled ascender i've been using strong elastic i find it more comfortable, i've also been thinking of replacing the handled ascender for a petzl basic as i find the handle can foul the croll which is annoying.

looking at my skylotec i think that is how i will be attaching it too

yep thats right mate, my first setup was anchored off the ring on the bridge, but this is much better,

 

i was thinking about changing the sling(its actually spliced holow braid ) the other day. i hear what your saying about the ascender as well, and was thinking about trying it with another croll or even a rope grab type thinng as its only really there to advance the footloop and back up the croll
