Original 200t modified and the rope is 11.6 petzle

Yes it looks a good rope, I’m thinking of going down the zigzag route but was wondering on how different your 11.6 would be to a 12.5. Do or did you find your hand we’re hurting using a smaller rope as there is less to grip, just your thoughts really bud, cheers

Hi mate I have climbed on 11.7 for years and not had any problems 11.6 definitely runs slightly better through the device! I almost always climb wearing pfanner reds which help with grip I also spend nearly all my time doing take downs which means am on spikes which am sure makes me less aware of grip problems because I tend to climb the tree not the rope I really do rate the petzle rope though definitely one of the best ropes for zigzag

Few from today's windy willow ! I had a lovely view of Scarborough all day good lad on the ropes all ways makes a nice day !

The winds the least of your worries, you should be more Concerned about the police only climbing on 1 rope

Ash trees over a little substation this morning the last one was crying out to be felled so stuck a but tie on and sent her down the hill ?

Spent the lad two days working on a long on going job, felled and processed a few macrocarpa trunks... 461 was ripping as usual, although did end up being a 25" metal detector [emoji849]
Also here was the view at the end of the day!

Rotten Poplar pollard . Two rope working and despite the considerable handicap I was glad of two points of attachment at certain parts of the job. At other points of the job it was a tangled nightmare.

I never get it when someone specs pollarding a manky lombardy.

 

It's like wiping half your arse.

I hate Poplars. They should all be horizontal. Some pictures from the other day. 

I also hate Ivy covering cavities in trees as well as dead Ash trees?‍♂️
