With the TCIA releasing a comprehensive best practice guideline to srt I don't think it's too much of an issue

Used the wrench today to remove major deadwood from a pinus radiata. Choked my top anchor with a bowline on a bight straight onto the rope. Was a bitch to pull out afterwards, pretty much had to footlock on it to get it down. Will be trying the locked off ring idea drew posted a while back next time, should be a bit less friction. All in all it worked really nicely. Didnt even have to redirect as most of the deadwood was on the trunk. Used a rope rocket to ascend. Love it.

So im going to try this knot out tomorrow it was invented by Sam Cooper and is called the Super Cooper i think. looks like there should be no binding problems and there is a video of it on drt on youtube somewhere.

Kinda looks like a howard hitch without the braids.. Im going to try that

[DrewB]

hey ben, if you use the ring idea and your going to be doing a few redirects, i chuck a pinto on the crab to make the retrieval a bit smoother..

Wouldn't this hitch produce alot of sit back and possibly be hard to tend as there is alot of distance to cover before the pulley hits a substantial part of the knot to advance it
