The People,s front of Judea!? Or is that the Judean People,s front??

I rise even earlier these days.I can hear the birds tweeting,I like that.I want to be sure that I understand exactly how I a supposed to impliment my climbing systems today so I shall re-read the article from the Arb magazine that is after a quick wander out with the dog.I washed my kit and the weather looks good today.I,m looking forward to this! I don,t start the day with Coffee anymore.I,ll do some leg raises then have some freshly squeezed orange juice.Coffee can wait.A quick skirmish on Fortnite will wake my brain up???

Not sure what to pair my preferred mainline with.But there is a new Sterling rope I can use.

I don,t spend much time on the internet much these days.I do post on Facebook but that will be getting the chop no doubt.The feeds you don,t request to see are so mind boggling and brainwashing that it feels like some kind of media poison.....Arbtalk will always feel like home though.I like the way you can choose what to follow or read.However there is a group on FB that does make me chuckle but I think that has something to do with my age.I would like to add you on here if that,s ok Mick? Would that be ok? Are you on Facebook Mr Dempsey? I know you would appreciate the posts.

I,m happy to adhere to this for a work climb but not for any kind of Recreational or inspection climb.

I know a couple of climbers who have been using the two rope system for a number of years now.I began as many of us do using both ends of my rope.But I was very happy and always safe using what will now be known as the old system....So this was my final one rope work climb.

Friday morning finds me at the "Magic Table!"....?‍♂️ Which is as good a place as any to continue.The place is empty except for a bloke wearing a Xmas jumper(not me)

Yesterdays job was a medium size back garden Tree.Spec was nothing interesting.I just wanted to employ the two rope system.It was a busy tree as I call it.Not easy to navigate but I was going to climb and work as recommended.At first I had decided to use two ZigZags.

Wasn't sure if "Two completely separate climbing systems" would allow for one ZZ to be attached to the other so I went with Prussick on one and ZZ on t,other.A larger more open tree I would have throw lined both systems/Cambium savers to a final anchor but the crown was busy with branches so I would start at the bottom.Moved point to point with two lines and my lanyard.On a side note I wore my climbing slippers.99% of my work is dismantled now so I,m in Airstreams and spikes.
