Nice pics as usual Matty. How did you tie off that limb in the first rigging shot, is that one piece of rope? If so how did you attach the karab back onto the line?

 

I usually use a strop with two biners and a prussik loop in the middle, its not getting used much these days.

Re CS40/41 thread. You will get taught how to and prob have to do a cradle with a single roap to pass assessment on 41.

Is that a Butterfly knot used as the attachment back to the main line?

 

I have never done this.

Just common courtesy, Colin. Dont worry about letting me know, if anything I posted is of use, then feel free to use it.

Im a creature of habit and dont like change !...have always balanced limbs this way, its a made up variation of what i was taught years ago...but has never let me down and i find it easy and fast to set up....but the prussik method could be quicker but i just dont like the idea that it could slip like it always seems to do when you climb on them!then putting the cradle unbalanced but i spose with weight on thats imposible how do you find it?

 

basically its a sling with karabiner attached to one end then with the lowering rope run through a biner then to the other end with a half hitch wich can be djusted to get the right size cradle as by pulling rope through the biner on the sling then just clip the lowering ropes end biner to a slip knot....no butterfly im afarid high scale
