[Jake Andrews]

Now that you've explained your right.its pretty much the same,just different style.

Gutted I broke up for Christmas,want to go climb and try this out:biggrin:

Yes, no need to untie the base anchor, just make the tail longer to allow for the extra height!

You know what im on board................teach them srt:biggrin:

 

Only problem I can see is expensive kit for beginners.

 

Old mill,to get back on topic,why do you ask

Yeah I think stick to ddrt untill they have there wits up in the tree , although the idea is very simple with advancing above your anchor (although it did take me a couple of goes to get what Paul ment ) the fact is that srt could well be taught to newbies but I think the instructors would have to keep a very close eye on what is being done as I think there are a lot more variables that go with it so therefore maybe not as easy to teach as ddrt

Cheers Adam.looks like I'm guna need to buy a lot more slings and crabs.i think this method will work wonders on the eucalypts over here.

No mate. In reality you only need one as you can remove the it once you've stropped in.

However, that kind of progress would be annoying and you'd have nothing left for a redirect whilst climbing.

I have three for big trees but my chest harness can be used if needed.

Just curious. I think here is no difference for a trainee with no previous experience.

The most important thing is correct training.

To many variables to consider like is the tree being climbed or is it the rope being climbed, is it horizontal progression or vertical progression etc etc.

Yes if they have the strength and depending on the climb and work being performed.

No if the do not have the strength and depending on the climb and work being performed.

Climbing a single static line, has less personal strength requirements and no directional limits.
