Unicender SRT

[Sirnick2]

Hi has anyone ever tried descending on the uni like this? Full SRT of course.

I find it a nice happy medium between taking a wrap around the handles and squeezing the handles together

[Paul Smith]

That's gonna create more wear on the bottom rail.

Oh missus, it's so shiny I'm having palpitations!!😘

[surveyor]

Do you have the wrap in place and then squeeze the handles together? If so, do you hold tension on the tail of the rope also?

Gordon, that system is complicated and unnecessary. You still have to put pressure on the top cam so why not just take a wrap as recommended?

[surveyor]

Paul I would tend to agree, however it may have certain advantages, one being that the weight of the tail rope would not cause it to continue to descend.

[Paul Smith]

Gordon, I always hold onto the tail end whenever I have a bite over the cams. You can descend by pressing the top cam with your wrist and holding the rope with the same hand.

Paul I'm 115kg so if i take a wrap and it doesn't flick off I go straight down, I can feather it just by pressing the cams down but so far for 1 handed fast ascents this is the best method I have found. And I would love to know what is so complicated about it, if you want Paul PM me to save your self the embarrassment and I'll explain it real slow for you with lots of pictures. Using a uni with a RW is also unnessicary but people rave about that. This industry is full close minded knobs.

 

On a brighter note Surveyor I'm still playing with the OAR but haven't had alot of time lately I'll spend some time on it over the weekend and see what i come up with

[surveyor]

Sirnick, with 250 lbs + gear it is likely you will need a fourth rack arm on the OAR.

 

I have the OAR working with an even narrower rope (KM III), but it requires 4 rack

arms. I plan on doing testing with your Imori and an inline scale to determine if it will release smoothly with your weight.

Use whatever works for you!
