How is the V.T. going to get back to the climber ?

How is the V.T. going to get back to the climber ?

 

Just my thought...and what happens when it comes loose? I happens very fast and is kid of hard to follow:001_huh:

[Nick Waring]

Looks like hes put a marlins spike below the v.t setup, and put the bottom crab into it, to stop the v.t from moving, and enabling him to use the tail to pull it all back down.

The hitch climber is locked off with that krab/knot, so the climbing system is basically a great big loop. Pull the climbing system up to the redirect, retrieve and then just pull it the other way. Simples!?

Edit: beat me to it Nick.

correct on all of the above! I attach a small ball to my climbing line about 1-5ft above my spliced eye. I then tie a marlin spike under my hitch and clip the bottom crab into it.i then advance my spliced eye and hitch up to the redi and watch for the small ball to pass through and connect onto the trapeze shackle, keep pulling and the shackle opens the ropeman which inturn opens the cinch. Both then slide off the rope and redi is now off the branch. The redi stays on your line via the hns crab and you just pull the whole system back to you and remove from the rope. Hopefully ill get a better video done tomorrow that explains it all.

Very slick...

 

Thanks for explaining!

[Stephen Blair]

very clever:thumbup1: i would of just climber around the limb and used that as the redirect lol,

[Xerxses]

Splendid! It shows the whole thing a lot better. Thanks for making the effort:thumbup1:
