Branch walking advice

[Richard]

Hi

 

Ive been practicing for a couple of months now since my course and have been doing quite well but the one thing that is slowing me up is branch walking.

 

I find i can get a high anchor point and get out around 3 metres ok but then have trouble getting a second anchor piont in and reaching out to hook up to it.

 

Any advice would be great

 

Thanks

you could set you second anchor point up first before doing the limb walk

Have you tried wrapping a sling round he nearest suitable branch. Attaching a krab and running your climbing line through that ( Redirect ) ? . Gives you a better angle to work from sometimes

Thats a vip fast past to climbing if ever i saw one:thumbup1:, get up into the trees with other guys and push yourself with the confidence of having good guys around you:001_smile:

I still struggle doing branch walking Unless the branch is massive Have you'r main anchor point in the tree and your second out on a branch above ya head. Have you lanyard either on the same branch you'r walking on or above your head Nice and safe then

 

All you can do is practise and practise

Put your Rope up high and straight to you Branch,get your body down low or you aint got a chance.

 

Put a re direct in,if your angles to flat

If the Branch is to thin then Crawl like a Cat.

 

Thats what Mick told me to do.
