Neat trick for choking climbing line on limb

[Pedroski]

Tie in, remove the krab and clip the bowline on a bight into your harness .

And attach split tail. Then all set for DdRT through the tree.

i use a similar method but i just tie a running bowline choked on the stem and thats it... simples...

if you want to retrieve it then just attach the tail of your rope to the loop in the bowline, when you get down just pull the tail....also simples....

why add stuff you dont need? like a krab?

Just to make it easier to relocate TIP when the climber is in the tree. Unclip krab, move it. No need to retie anything. It's a better alternative than choking the limb with a krab as there's no cross loading, and it's easier that the running bowline if you've got a massive long rope and want to choke it midway.

I see what you are saying. For me however its not of much use as i only use srt when chogging down the stem as a second safety line, or i sometimes use srt when gaining access into the crown if its a long way. As for saving time tying a running bowline well that only takes seconds.

If it works for you thats the important bit, i am sure someone may find it useful so thanks for posting it
