Would prefer to see that krab method done with a screwgate. It would surprise you how easy that krab could open rubbing about up there.

 

Screw gate no! 3 way is much better but it would help if the gate was outboard!

Has anyone tried this TIP?

Is the benefit of doing this so when you climb up to your anchor point it doesn't give any slack so to speak? I usually just base anchor but when getting near my point the rope can feed over the branch towards the base?? Hope that makes sense cheers guys

[Paul Smith]

There is always a danger of slack when using a base anchor. You could use that method to go above your original anchor point, or use a sling and revolver.

[mistahbenn]

Yes Ben this is to prevent slack in the system, something which I do not like, thats why I made this thread.

[ben lightfoot]

Yeah makes sense I have been lucky enough to get top or near on top anchor with big shot, to advance further I have just stropped in and put through another fork.

Another version.

 

I've just started using this setup but clip the opposite leg of rope into the Krab and make sure the gate is away from the stem, There have been a couple of times when I've gone round to the opposite side of the tree that the setup is facing and through a few redirects and it's taken 3 people to pull it out (this happened in a beech, so smooth bark!) so you do have to think a little bit about your redirects

Cool thanks Marcus!

Has anyone tried this TIP?

 

Yes I do it all the time but I use a small oval Maillon to clip the Butterfly and the work side of the rope together.

Revolver is a no crossloading a krab and the possibility of the gate rubbing open, A bob or a F8 bunny ears with a krab work great, a locked of ring and ring is good as it doesn't matter how many redirects you take.
