Smooth climbing

[Rupe]

The exact same can be done with a VT, even better I would dare to say, though not from me! Good control of the SJ though!

i never seem to be able to get the VT just right, so i made my own hitch up:thumbup:

 

although i would love to try the SJ!

 

especially if it makes me that quick:lol:

[Rupe]

The SJ wont make you that quick. Me thinks that guy is plenty quick enough an any type of hitch, he just happens to have practiced with the SJ a bit. Practice makes you quick not the gear you have.

have a good look at the tree,, the limbs are HUGE,, more like stair cases than anything down here,,, reckon that's why it looks so easy....

I've seen you move like that Rupe!!

 

An it was on a VT! But you did say to me that it very rarely self-tends quite as sweetly as it was that day.

 

I am attracted by the lack of fiddling/tweaking the SJ would require, but having spent an hour on 1 once felt I'd never be able to climb the same way as I can on A VT. If I could I'd switch straight away!!

I bet if you disturbed a wasps nest up a tree you to could be just as fast as Tarzan in the video

Very slick video, but i would love to see him do that on a filthy slimy sycamore in the cornish pee-ing rain on slimy green algae covered branches with no feeling in his hands with it blowing a hooly and a saw swinging from his harness...then i WOULD be SERIOUSLY impressed......I have to agree with rupe here....

[RobArb]

tell you what jammy, was in a lime the other day (not a big one), it was being reduced but we were a bit short for time so two of us went up.

 

i was reducing the last limb on my way down about 10-12ft off the floor and my pal stood on the branch i was anchored into....... crack, branch just held but i tell you what, you've never seen me move so quick:lol:

 

who needs a SJ when you've got work colleagues hey:thumbup:
