Abseiling over brick wall.

Sounds like there's plenty of great ideas/options there:thumbup1:

 

Mine apart from the obvious option of setting a load off tires on fire at the bottom and burning it all was to use those protective covers that they have on ratchet straps. Plus their free, just pop down to your local over night service station and help your self to some of the back of a wagon.

Thanks for all your input fellas.

 

I'll let you know how it goes.

 

Some pics of the actual job would be good too Mark:001_smile:

[Mark Bolam]

Will do.

 

Bloke is keen. He was on at 7.45 this morning asking if I could do it or not. I told him I had come up with some great ideas!

 

Mesterh, I intend setting the ivy on fire just before abseiling. I always work better under pressure.

yeh there's got to be something for us to take the mik out of..

Get a section of old fire hose to feed the rope through.

 

 

If you do use the "dog wire" runner make sure each end can take the full load.You only get load sharing / reduction if the anchors & load are triangulated & the angle at the load is below 120 deg

 

with a 100lb load the pull on each leg is

 

>120 deg 100lb to each anchor (so double the actual load)

80 deg 70lb per anchor

40 deg 54lb per anchor

20 deg 50lb per anchor

 

So to share the load between anchors keep your angle low.

Mark i nipped out this morning and tried a couple of the ideas for you, Roberts worked the best for me

Cheers Moz.

 

That's pretty much what I had in mind.

 

With an 88 running a 4 footer in each hand and a couple of days growth on my chin, I should easily be able to strip 10 foot off with each pass.

[Tommy_B]

Bump.

 

Did you get to do the job in the end mate??

[Mark Bolam]

Not yet. He is struggling to get permission from the neighbour at the top of the cliff.

 

Might have to do it Ninja style with a grappling hook!

[testcricket01]

rock climbing style is best option by far like the guys have said. create a anchor at the top 3 or more anchors equalised with a static line and clip your running rope into a biner or pulley into that, and your away sounds my idea of heaven that job. nothing better than cliffs
