speedlining video

[slack ma girdle]

Your groundie only just managed to keep enough tension for the top. It looked like some furious scrabbling to hold on. Good video

Nice work. I like nice quick video's, I have a short attention span.

 

So you tensioned the line before you cut the branches off? Bet that top was wobbly.

NIce short vid Josh.

Good tunes as others have said.

One of the things i like about speedlining is the neatnes of the brash pile, and its all pointing the same way for the chipper too.

 

 

When the 'first' iraq war kicked off, Massive attack were told to drop the 'Attack' part of their name by the UK govt, and the BBC deicded it was innappropriate to use the Attack part of their name. Bomb the Bass were in the same boat.

Thanks for the great replys!

 

Faultless as usual

 

What the procedure for returning the crabs and strops to the climber ?

 

having about 6 slings meant 6 or more branches can be sent down(2 or 3 closebranches can be half hitched by one sling) once all had been sent down, the groundie simply clipped the bunch to the end of my rope, whilst i was re-slinging, he was fixing the branches, simples!

 

Nice work. I like nice quick video's, I have a short attention span.

with no tag line we just 3-1'd the line and held on, no big weights, if there were more bigger branches like the top, would have put a lowering bollard to put controlable friction in the system. . it worked well though!

around 1-1.2m i think, last time i ordered slings i ordered 2 of each length justin sells, they're so handy, and cheap

 

 

 

just to add, the branches, where the camera was set at the beginning was on a low fence, the branches were being stacked just over the fence for collection later the day, so just moved a few meters. . . and the wood was just chogged down in 3m lenghts, and cut into 30-40cm rings and left at the base of the tree
