Rope Wrench feedback

[kevin bingham]

I do not own a lockjack and so I cannot comment with experience but I would be very sure that the lock jack engages all the time even if the Rope Wrench does not. I think the spider jack and Lock jack operate with defferent mechanisms correct?

Hi Carlos, i find its better with everything close, The hand ascender plays no attachment other than to the foot loop so its just on the line by itself.

Hi Kevin, i haven't yet placed my SJ on the wrench system but the LJ is very smooth and seems to work much in the same way it would in DRT because of how the RW is attached above it. Very smooth.

Hi Ian flatters. That all looks really good and simple. When limb walking and your tail is up through the Revolver, does the acute angle on your rope at the underside of the LJ create more friction when pulling on the tail?

 

What rope are you on and what length?

Thanks.

Ian, have you tried attaching the hand ascender to the RW?

[Dan Curtis]

Ian, when going out on a limb, do you find you have to give yourself slack with the rads? It looks as though the weight of your tail might mean you're working against your line a bit. I know this is ok with the lj on ddrt, just wondering the difference in srt.

[Ian Flatters]

Hi guys, when i limb walk on rads i clip the running end through my lanyard crab to keep the tail close there prob is a much easier way but I'm still learning. Limbwalking is smooth just like in DRT, the resistance only really happens when i pull on the line heading back in, other than that its pretty much the same.

 

Mistahben- no not really i couldn't see the point as placing the strop over your shoulder works remarkably well and keeps your body posture upright.

 

Oldmills - NRG Kermantle SRT line i think and its 55m long.

 

Like is said I'm new to set but really enjoying the learning curve and experience of it.

got any pics mate of this set up?

 

Beaten to it! Mines the same as Ian's

For SRT do I need a static line?

How much difference does it make?

I've just got a 37m Poison HiVee.

Loving this thread!

I find a static line best but I also have used Tachyon but there is a bit of bounce.

 

You will need a long line for rescue purposes, 3 times the height minimum.
