treemotion srt setup ?

[stihllearning]

just started to learn srt and would like to use my treemotion rather than my soon to be retired treeflex but of course theres no atachment point for a chest ascender,any body have any solutions/suggestions?

from your croll use a triangle mailion with two express slings then two small biners on the end and attach to your lower side d's. then have some elastic from the top of your croll round your neck. some people use the elastic to the ascender for progress and some people use a single biner to the ring on the bridge to attach the croll. horses for courses and all that hope it helps.

vtio.org.au Try the SRT section on this site.

 

Then go to the downloads list.

you on commision?

 

vtio is very interesting but doesnt have anything to suit the tree motion specifically:confused1:

i got some taped webbing and rigged up a chest harness like an old petzl one, it crosses over your chest and back . works and is simple.

Maybe try this one?

(By 'specifically' I'm assuming you mean a set-up that doesn't use a chest harness?)

[stihllearning]

very cool! thanks that looks impressive, i probably could of explained my situation better,

treemotion with chest harness to croll then crab to bridge.

 

in this set up the croll sits to high and isnt as efficient as the same set up on my treeflex because there isnt a specific attachment on the treemotion for srt although it looks like drew doesnt suffer the same problem,i guess i was hoping someone had found a solution to this problem

 

i think ill try and set something up on the bottom side d's

Dont bother with the chest harness at all, just link the croll to the ring on the bridge, and link the top of the croll to the top handled ascender so it gets towed up the rope when you advance the handled ascender.

 

Just make sure you don't get too much slack between the harness and croll.
