Can you explain what the RW does for the the system. What advantages and disadvantages?

I'm intrigued.

 

It allows you to use it on a SRT line, it takes just enough friction of the SJ to allow descents under load and under control. You do not get the sit back either like you do with a hitch.

That makes good sense but does it inhibit the SJs self tending ability in any way?

I don't have SRT gear (yet) so I'm just curious.

Thanks.

I just ordered a RW, and a pantin... looking fwd to experimenting and learning something!

[Paul Smith]

When doing SRT I use a frog walker system with a hand ascender, foot loop and a pantin on the other and my lanyard over my shoulder and pulled tight onto the top of my unicender. This pulls it up as you advance. It would be the same system with the RW.

Pictures 4 worries me a bit due to the angle the SJ is subjected to. Great idea though and defo something to improve upon. Good work atree

 

Yeah i heard you can use a m-rig,(joe harris briefly explained it to me)but was just playing around

 

Cheers,Post some ideas if you have any

Yes you can use an M-rig but check the Pulleysaver video for more inspiration.

I tried using a pulley(petzl fixie)in the top biner then attach spliced eye as normal,didnt think it worked well,

Got my myself a foot ascender and gave it ago today with my sj I also made a bigger bridge using a sling so I could get a better pull, worked like a treat :-) cheers. Boys

Used my pulley idea while cable bracing a tree today and found it really helped when out on limbs and helped when pulling slack through when it was closertotheground.

Will give it a try tomorrow,Cant really the advantage of it tbh.
