work positioning

[treewizard]

hi was just wondering what side/work positioning strop/lanyards setups you guys use.

 

was thinking of using a longer one with a rope bag and wanted to get some feed back about the ones you lot use

 

cheers

my current:

I use a micro pulley and a distel set up, use a grab on me flip line.

i use friction hitch with micro pully or a wire core with grab both with snap hooks on the ends:thumbup1:

[Nick Waring]

Distel with micro pulley. and about 2-3m strop.

Swabisch on New England wirecore flipline with micro pulley. In the pic below the flipline is choked to the stem above the block sling during a removal.

normal - 4m length, micro pulley with mini vt knot thing and an isc two way snap

chogging down - wire core, prussic (must get a rope grab!)

long - 10m with vt/pulley

I normally use a 3m comet wirecore, its soft and really nice, I do have a 7m one in hivee, but tbh unless the tree is huge I find it a pain. Its very rare I feel the need for a second anchor further away than 1.5m. Try a longer one... but I'll bet you don't like it.

10m of tachyon in a small siverbull hipbag with an artpositioner

i use a 5M yale fire with a grigri which i find good as it can be let out slowly rather than the total release you seem to get with the grab

 

depends what you want it for if you just need a second climbing line rope of any length is good i have a 10M as well which is great if your in a big wide tree also if you just have a little tree to do

 

if you want it for blocking down then you need a wire core which is a totaly different thing IMO:confused1:

does the bag get in the way
