Which SRT kit

[Paulfreebury]

I'm looking to buy my first srt kit but not sure what to buy or whats essential?

I use a pantin on my right foot, then a croll with a bungee round my neck to keep it upright and then a left hand ascender with a footloop for my left foot, the hand ascender is tethered to the same carabiner as my croll. Makes a nice walker system. You could make an easy sit stand with a hand acsender w/ 2 footloops and a croll and bungee.

Thanks Benr that's really helpful.

Check this out mate, it is even better. Gives you a good overview of some of the different climbing systems. http://vtio.org.au/Content/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Single-Rope-Technique-i.pdf

So is your system is the micro frog? Great link cheers for that.

[BenR]

I guess mine is a treefrog. But I have tried the roperocket too. I used a vt and hitchclimber instead of the mini traxion. Works really nice because you have your hands free to climb the rope or keep away from branches etc.

 

I didnt fancy splicing a beeline one piece thing. Looks difficult.

Liking the 3 in 1 splice bro.. is it hard to do? I've made a few whoopie slings but this is ideal for srt set up

[Paulfreebury]

Nice! I like that, very tidy setup

Thanks Drew

hey craig, nah bro its pretty simple especially using tenex. i should make one out of 8mm beeline really too. Ive got one made from 8mm AP that was a total pain that i dont use-cant bring myself to cut it off though after the grief it took to make. i probably wouldnt splice direct onto the hand ascender next time as it limits its use to the one setup.
