SRT ReTraverse

[DrewB]

Tbh even then it wouldn't worry me bro. 10mm op is 33kN, chuck a fishermans in there and so get's a break strain of 24kN(?).

Sorry meant about length of tails left, on the fisherman's not necessarily the breaking strength.

Yeah and also the quality of cordage.

Some great tips there bro! Loved the auto M-Rig method. So simple! Thanks for taking the time.

You using SRT much over there Ben?

[mistahbenn]

Yeah Dave, when needed... still getting used to it. It is the way fwd mate, ascending a big tree is very easy with a rope wrench. And the rest of it too! Its like a magic tool

[dgcunningham]

Any problems with it mate, its a pretty new system isn't it? Pretty rapid descent if that hitch fails on a static line without the friction of a limb slowing the rope. Any trouble on loading the anchor when tying off at the base? I'm right in thinking it creates a 2:1. Because we're employed now I think there is no way we could use it in a work situation.

Hey bro, if your hitch fails on either srt or drt- your buggered! A question about why you wouldn't be allows to work from it- how come? Both systems- one rope,one hitch.

Alreet Dave how's it going? Phil got you up and running on SRT yet?

Hi Rob, yeah we're good mate, shame about this weather though aint it? I've succumbed to a cold and been feeling weak as a kitten: been hard work hauling myself up those trees the last few days. You well mate? How is the study going, have you finished it yet? Mozza is off for his wedding so he's being sorely missed. No sign of SRT for us mate, but to be honest all the bigger trees we have worked of late have been dismantles so been scampering about mostly on spikes. Had a week in the lakes the other week and took a static kernmantle line, jummar, croll and pantin and had a go of that, pretty impressed by it. Felt like a proper caver!

 

Take care man.
