Poll on two rope technique.

[Mick Dempsey]

I’m a short rope guy, very often call for the ladder to get out or re anchor half way down.

But that means for a 20 mètre tree you’d need 80 odd mètres of rope to reach the ground on ddrt, which is a lot.

Joe beat me to it, you can pull one end through and revert back to your original rope length.

 

I’ve hardly ever done this, as Huck said, a big loop of rope is not something I particularly want up a tree.

I occasionally use a secondary system when it suites to make my positioning to make a cut or set rigging easier or safer probably could count on 2 hands how many times a year that it happens and I climb 6 days a week so that says how often it happens

That fine, until you do this 60ft up......

 

 

Tbh, it’s bees and wasp nests that scare me most.

Not when you're bombing limbs off, but if you're doing that you probably don't need a triangulated system.

 

I'm talking about using it for tippy reductions/deadwoods, where if you drop something into your line it's no big deal

Mick, get a longer rope and a rope bag!

Ah, ok.

I’ll never need it then.

I have longer ropes.
