Climbing Set ups

[Ewan Murray]

I dont think the HH would be good for beginners as it doesn't offer the same variabiltiy as a Vt/distel etc pulley set up.

The other view might be that it offers the same DRT variations AND the option of SRT.

not trying to be negative but can someone please explain why youd use a HH for DbRT? what advantage does it have in this configuration over a HC? i thought we were always trying to get rid of friction on DbRT, not adding it. Though of course i may be totally missing the point but i dont get it.

I was more speaking regarding Ddrt options, a hitchclimber offers quick and easy adjustment of friction chord length and knot types, variation of karabiner s plus its easier to get hold of a hitchclimber and majority of systems can be used srt with a wrench.

Just so I'm clear in my head, what is Dbrt?

[Ewan Murray]

Ddrt is doubled rope technique Drt is double rope technique, I.e two separate lines

Two separate static lines I might add:thumbup:

so yeah- DbRT is standard arb tree climbing technique.

[Ewan Murray]

and people write it either Ddrt or Dbrt personal preference

Wrench all the way for beginner SWRPers.. Cant beat the familiarity of a hitch and if you dont get on with it and need to finish a tree pop the wrench off an switch back to ddrt..
