Descending a pole SRT from DdRT

[kevin bingham]

Fate revolver or kong robot works better than an eight in full configuration and allows you to switch directions if need be.

I got fig8 multi loop and sling.

 

Can you just back up your hitch on single line with fig 8?

 

yea just use the multi sling in the video, then just add the figure 8 above your hitch, this creates more friction just like the rope wrench idea

[agrimog]

throw a highwaymans hitch round the pole, descend on your figure 8, pull the unlocking tail of the hitch, no need for all the fancy modern crap, old school at its most basic

You could just choke off as already described and use your unicender as normal!

Can always disconnected your dbrt system, pop a ring on it and bowline to the ring with a tail, same principle as the buttlerfly just no rope on rope and i find it frees up easier....

 

F8, munters or 8 to reduce friction and your away.

 

Let me know if you want a pic bro

Have you tried passing a bight taken above your friction hitch, passing that through the rigging ring and attaching it to your bridge through a revolver. Your friction hitch carabiner also needs to be attached to your bridge. You need to make sure it seated well before you descend though.

Got a pic im struggling to visualise that, maybe its too early

Yep ring takes up such little room compared to say a multisling like in the thamel vid!
