didnt know you could shuffel? i was told that you fail if you do that because it shows lack of confidence?

 

 

proberly not a fail but they wont be ammused by it. On a limb walk you have to walk otherwise it wouldnt be called a limb walk they wont give you a difficult limb that needs you to shuffle so they wont be happy if you do

[Tom2020]

On mine he said Use any method you feel safe Run walk hop skip crawl shuffle As long as you can get to the tip of the branch and rescue or carry out work Ill be happy

[RobRainford]

Yes it's called a limbwalk. But if you get out there they can't argue. I did mine on a tall sycamore which had a crown starting very high. Rather steep angle. Had to shuffle. Just put your strop loose underneath and it stops your pendulum swing. Do it on all my big limbwalks/shuffles.

thanks for that, what happens when you come to a limb coming off the one your walking on and ur strop us underneeth? are you allowed to take it off and put it the other side or would you fail for that?

You can do whats necessary to get you to where the examiner wants you to go as long as you always have one point of tie in.

yes you are allowed to do that. AFAIK the assessment requires a walk with a strop and one without. With a strop it means you scramble out to the tip of an awkward branch and clip on at the end. They have no qualms about clipping on early and having it loose.

 

You would fail if you tried to take your main line out to tie onto it!

by the way John Dawson, me and mat are both riseholme students

Yeah, thats me!

 

Sorry chaps, im rubbish with names on a good day!

 

 

Just for the record, my assessor guidance notes from 2003 state a pole rescue is compulsory.

The problem is that i have still yet to witness a pole rescue as part of an assessment.

 

Regardless of this, you guys @ college should(!) be perfectly able to sail through an assessment without breaking a sweat. Swot up on the schedule and keep calm.

[Tom2020]

Btw Best of luck for you test and We will have a meet up soon pal!

[the verminator]

another quick question, are you allowed to have a hand above your friction hitch? just wondering because if it slipps and hits the knot it will make you fall abit?
