Srt start up kit

[nz paul]

I'm interested in learning this for large tree access.Can anyone recommend a basic,easy kit to start with?Been looking at the petzel stuff but am guessing it will be expensive.Would a ascender,pantin,strop and access line do for starting?Don't know anyone that does it so will be self teaching.I'm not interested in climbing around in srt just for access to start with.The cheaper the option the better.

Any help advice would be great thanks

you could just buy a rope wrench thats what I did that and a foot ascender and would think everything else would be in your kit.

DO you think buying something like the wrench to start with is a good idea or something a bit more old school.example..i learnt to climb on a prussic not a cam,and have worked my way up as ive been learning.Or just go straight to the latest gadget?.

Wrench. its easy to set up, feels weird at first but works, foot ascender and hand jammer. Thats all you need really. I use the wrench to ascend, then swap back to DRT once in the crown, I got the removable pin, so it take a less than a minute to sort out.

Where in Sweden are you?

Just moved to a place called aplared,middle of no where,inland from gotenborg,wrench is probably a bit expensive for me to start with.

2nd that, you would spend a similar ££ on just access line

I would recommend that you buy my Rope Wrench, it's a few months old and not abused.

Any basic srt access setup is likely to cost similar or more, without the added bonus of SRWP that a RW has
