It looks cool you cretin.

 

 

What would you know gramps?

 

It was a genuine question though. I'm not 100% sold on SRT. Some jobs I reckon it makes life harder for me.

Throw line into another tree and base tie.

 

Spike up the leaner using the SRT line as a balancer. What's easier about trying to do the same with a doubled rope?

A lovely dead Sycamore from a few days ago. I don't like mewps so felt much safer climbing this. 😃👍🏻
