throwline throwing tips

[Bob Rolfe]

I'm good for about 90 feet by hand, so I'v never really felt the need for a BS. Great for rainforest canopy access though!

 

To get good at hand throwing, you need to pick a technique you are comfortable with, and keep practising until you are good enough.

 

Sometimes I get the anchor I want first throw, sometimes it takes half an hour, but persistance always pays off. I love using it for setting pulling lines and rigging blocks, saves a lot of effort and time, and I'v set some pull lines in some horrible dead trees that I wouldnt have enjoyed climbing.

 

yeh me too but probably not the tree im trying to climb it goes every where except where its suppose too ive even thought of aiming for a different tree to get it up the one im after lol .

Just close your eyes and throw wildly, it works for me!
