Rope wrench rigging job

[Danavan]

Do you find that that putting a 3 to 1 advantage is something that is needed regularly on most of climbs with this system?

 

Nice vid & top tune.

[Mark Bolam]

Aye, tune.

 

Good work on a leggy looking tree Gibbon.

Your a pair of heathens, the original is still the best.

 

Scotty, pulling that oak back in saved a lot of work. I often end up with ropes running close by one another

 

I'd have ropes running close together myself, but looked like the tip of the branch nearly caught your climbing line. I could be wrong, hard to see it clearly in a video. Job got done, you saved a bit of work, and are still here to post a video about it. I'm not putting your work down, my rigging isn't exactly top notch as there isn't much call for it where I'm living. There's plenty of open space to drop, and often cut and chuck works just as fast for the odd bit that could be roped. Probably rigged 3 trees in the last year.

 

Interested to see that redirect in more detail as well.

It clipped my rope but no big deal. Redirect is simple. A just take a sling and clip, hand ascender with roller attached with a tether. That's all I need to frog walk, 3 to 1 rads or re direct.

no, I only used rads there because I was wearing spikes not the pantin. I prefer to limb walk using the 1 to 1 method most of the time. Are you using srt?

[Mark Bolam]

Have you tried wearing the Pantin as well as your spikes Gibbon?

 

I found it worked ok, much better than I hoped.

 

That was on drt, though.

 

My Ropewrench is on it's way. Got some ivy-infested trees to tackle, and SRT access should be a lot kinder on my old bones!

Nice climb Mat,

 

Are you using a GRCS to winch those limbs back over?

Yes. I love that winch. Just craned down a huge lime today so going to have to look at that footage next
