SRT rope anchoring

[Tod K]

I like this anchor.

Forgot to describe it. A munter backed up by prusik for autoblocking. It very easy to lower a climber. Plus it is familar by arbors and rescue personel.

Steve lets us know how you get on with it, i'd like to have a go myself.I would of gone with a running bowline myself, but thinking on it, if a rescue is needed it would make it very difficult.

Looks good Todd. And welcome to Arbtalk, hope you can add plenty over here too!

I'll try. Hopin to pick up a few tricks that may not have made it over the pond. Thanks for the welcome.

I tried the running bowline for anchoring in the canopy which worked well but does have the rescue issues , switched to a longer static line and using a capstan locked off and backed up with a prussik .

Yes, because we are so far ahead of you guys!!

 

Tod, can you post the aerial pictures of your yard? Just to show the guys here what a real tree company yard looks like!

my normal srt is just sending up a running bowline and locking it off at the top. Then ascend up the line and lanyard in. clip all the ascenders into the eye of the bowline and lower down to the ground. This then leaves an access line that can be climbed any style in case its needed. Climb on a different line of course.

I know its got certain issues with rescue but the way it leaves an access line(Dbrt or srt) wins over the tieing it off at the bottom technique for me.

That sound good.

It requires an ability to cleanly snare a TIP without any limbs in the way.Apart from that it seems good method which i recently used when climbing up to some big outer limbs on a large White Gum ( E viminarlis).
