Double crotching

[holdatcharlie]

Hi. I mainly climb trees for fun and am fortunate to have many large trees in my garden.

 

Is it good practice to use one rope for double-crotching (for limb-walking)? That is - rope eye from harness to crotch A then back to harness (via Prussik1) then out to crotch B and back to harness (via Prussik2)? Or, is it easier/better practice to use two ropes?

personally ive always used one rope,just be aware of it looping under you then dropping arisings onto loop,can be deeply unpleasant

Look up m-rig or v-rig to do this with only one prussic
