Spider jack help

[Joe Loggs]

Hi peeps I have been climbing on a spider jack 2 for a few months now I wanted to no if there is anything I could add to this set up to help on ascents?

A Pantin. I got one several months ago to use with my Lockjack and it's ace!

A pantin foot ascender,although i dont use one,i tend to footlock the tail and if I'm close to the stem/branch I'll pull hand over hand. Spiderjack is an amazing tool but takes time to get really comfortable with it and get the most out of it.

He beat me to it!

YOu don't need to see one as it's self explanatory and actually easier to use than you think it will be.

When working in a big tree I leave it on for the duration as when I'm not using it I don't even feel it's there.

 

It's a cheap piece of kit, just get one.

or put a sling between you and the SJ but make sure its not to long as tou wont be able to reach it when you want to bring the SJ back to you,or use an adjustable bridge (if your on a treemotion.

Can you get a Foot pantin for both feet so you can walk up the rope?or are they universal?

[Old Mill Tree Care]

The black one is for the left foot, gold one for the right foot.
