Positive Altitude

[TreeSpyder]

So much of my understandings of how stuff works comes from tree work. i all ways had the philosophical slant. But really came to realize the joining of philosophy and physics understanding from tree work; as it constantly reminded me that the first physicists and philosophers were the same people. The laws were the same in each, so L-earning 1 could give insights to the other as in Body of Knowledge.

 

 

So, sometimes having a positive attitude comes down to apprising what you have; and smiling and capitalizing on it. For having something means losing something/ it's reciprocal. So you could cry or smile; you can capitalize on loss or gain. History is filled with stories of nations being conquered; just to find the genetic pool was then thinned down to the tough; and they were pissed and won back what was lost etc.

 

It just depends on where the variables are dialed to; and what you can make out of that situation to your needs. So, you keep 2 strategies; to capitalize on which ever way the ball bounces etc.

 

i think a tree in the woods has a (PMA)positive mental attitude; either the leaf stays on the tree to protect, store food and feed the tree; or on the other hand it might fall to the ground, protect the ground/roots, store it's food until it feeds the tree. Dialed to such a win/win; how could it not have a PMA? Trees are bigger, live longer, taller, heavier, levraged than about any other life form. We can learn more from them, than teach them through our misunderstandings (but, i guess that is another topic).

 

From:TB - TIP Loading

 

"This can be even more confusing; there are some tradeoffs happening. Because the more load per length of line gives more elastic dampening. The dampening can bounce against your climbing; or catch you and buffer impact to you and TIP.

 

In SRT anchored at ground level; you have a potential 2:1 effect of loading on the TIP. But; the more friction (and wider open angle) the less 2:1 effect. But, then the less elastic response from the rope; and the TIP itself. The elastic response can either fight you climbing or save you from impact. The spread angle reduction in TIP 2:1 loading will not reduce the rope elastic response that works by length; but will reduce the TIP elastic response that works on loading(as well as change the direction of that loading to an angle where the TIP weight itself is less 'impact' on the loading elastic response).

 

SRT terminated/choked at TIP; will have less elastic loaded area; more like SRT anchored at ground with friction dialed up all the way on TIP as a variable. So, we have less bounce, but also more impact if a fall etc. At some point; of such a shock load; we'd rather have the 2:1 load on TIP with more elasticity to dampen...

 

DdRT; will have less TIP load(when not to a pulley with line anchored at ground). So, will have more of the loading of TIP terminated SRT. But, each leg of the DdRT will carry half the load of the SRT; so the DdRT will give less elastic response if it has to catch you. This will matter more when close to the TIP than far from it.

 

There are no easy, across the bored answers. Maximum safety/production/loading/whatever is dependent on needs and variables per situation. i all ways think the 1st step is to recognize the variables involved. 2nd, picture them as round volume knobs on a stereo; to get different effects on the system. 3rd, recognize a binary code; whereby each variable that stands to help you can be flipped; at sum point and can be maid to stand against ye. This is the wonder of Nature; with seemingly infinite combinations; any of which can be good or bad; depending on what you need, or how you capitalize on what you have. Having anything increased guarantees the reduction of it's reciprocal value; each of which is a power; that can be capitalized on. So each change has a gain and loss..."

 

Hope i'm not pushing my luck here; this is just more of how i've understood the grueling risk taking of climbing; and how it has related to life to me. what i think one can bring home to outlast the paycheck and callouses.

 

One of my favorite acronyms is:

L.U.C.K.= Labour Under Controlled Knowledge.

(well that seemed on topic anyway).

 

Thanks for h'earing me out!
