Srt help!!!

[Old Mill Tree Care]

Nothing really, i love it soooooo much because of it customisation BUT id rather have a faster ascent on the trees and the uni is king for a toothless system. Also its nice to have other knowledge and experience in other SRT setups, not used the HH yet but would rather try one before i buy as i havent seen one in the flesh yet.

 

Thanks.

Right I'm going to be truthful now, I love the wrench and nothing has ever come close to how much I love it as part of my SRTWP system, now when I first saw the HH it did not appeal to me one bit! Having now seen a few setups it is really growing on me and I have now decided to buy one when I get a spare few quid! Working the tree Srt has become a great new venture for me and having used, muddled, and taken on bored loads of benefits and techniques I feel I would never work a tree in Ddrt ever again! I just don't see how it would benefit my climbing style or my work in anyway what's so ever! Some say it has its place!!!! For me I can't see how except retrieving a line from the tree!

 

After having very briefly used the unicender and several talks from dan Curtis and others about it I feel its just not for me! I liked it a lot and its as sexy as hell! But the hitch has me hooked and is so predictable there's only one way forward for me now and that's the hitch hiker, don't get me wrong the wrench will always have its place in my climbing bag and as Ian has said its customisation is great bonus to a well thought out, engineered, piece of revolution to the tree climbing world!

 

I have thought about the zigzag wrench combo but it still to me has several major flaws!

 

Ian once I have it you may use it or even borrow it for work for a week

SRTWP means Single Rope Technique Work Position

 

It's an abbreviated term we use to describe someone that works the tree from a single line

 

Hope this helps mate:thumbup1:
