Very interesting, thanks :thumbup1:

Having been thinking about how I'm gong to get around a tree, I've decided that for now I'm going to reserve SRT principally for access on a base anchored line thrown any old how into the tree. I can then go and set my pulley saver wherever I want it and work ddrt from there.

That means I'll keep my hc pulley and beeline eye to eye for ddrt and I'm going to then have a pinto and OP eye to eye on the rope wrench.

The sling I'm basing my mark 2 tether on is a 31cm one of these.... Rock Empire 13mm Dyneema Open Sling climbing | eBay

I'm hoping the nice smooth profile of the pinto will remove the issue old mill raised of the side plates of my old isc fixed pulley chafing the cord.

Just putting this out there for people who haven't seen it, Treebuzz has a forum dedicated to SRT, there's some good ideas/threads.

 

TreeBuzz Board: Viewing forum: SRT-Half the rope, twice the fun!

 

Maybe we should have a dedicated SRT forum on Arbtalk? Steve? what say you?

 

Saw this tether the other day on Treebuzz for use with the Hitchclimber, looks good.

Yeah not a problem Tim, I was thinking about it myself a little before christmas.

 

nice one mate, looking forward to seeing it.

 

Adam bourne just made a tether like the one above

 

yep, saw that, very good it is too. The guy who made the Treestuff one above is a member on Treebuzz, 'Oceans' is his member name if anyone is looking for info on how he makes it. Long thread but well worth a look for those interested - some good pics, explanations etc -

Sorry Ian but I don't know what 'back linked' means.

Is that because I mentioned your name on the Treehouse SRT thread and it keeps notifying you?

Not sure.:blushing:
