Beginners guide to rigging.......

[Rupe]

I agree with this and I'd like to add to it.

 

If you tip tie and cut at the butt, the butt will drop away causing the tip to come straight in and hit the climber.

Tip tieing in this manner only works if using a Stein Dual bollard or GRCS so that the groundie can winch the tip up while the climber performs a gob cut facing the sky and a slow back cut.

The only other senario when tip tieing can work is if using a craning fork so that the branch moves immediately away from the climber.

 

I see where you are coming from but there are so many ways of doing this that its not often a problem.

 

I'd be more concerned about the butt end hitting the groundie than the tippy tips hitting the climber. Again its all to do with type of cutting, "angle of dangle" and groundie skills. The actuall rigging is a minute part of the whole procedure.

 

Secondary rigging points and/or winching the section upright before finishing the cut are both good methods.

I can fix anything with a plug key, bull dog spring rake and some bent nails lol

Nice thred Adam. Thankyou for takeing the time to create an informative and thorough thred. I think it would be grate a format simaulair to the arbtalk knot guide filtering out all the coments that arnt needed (like this one )

 

Stephen thay shireke techneaque looks the muts. Your own creation? dose it work best within a certan degree of angle? have you tryed it with a pully in place of the limb was wondering if the reduction in friction wold make a straghter line of tregectory? Somthink i'll have a play with in future thanks for sareing

Your going to need friction somewhere, I don't see the point in making a friction device on the ground end when there is already 1 at the end I am working, I can gauge what's needed. Also depends on the strength of your groundie:laugh1:

yeah i see have you used on any biger lumps looks a tidie system
