SRT Q & A's Thread

[Ian Flatters]

So i noticed a lot of people asking questions wondering how SRTWP (single rope work positioning) works, redirect setups, configurations, reviews and types of systems.

 

So feel free to post a question and im sure someone will be able to answer your question.

Why do we need so many acronyms for Single Rope Technique? 😡

Because not many of us can read above the level of "The Hungry Caterpillar"

I'm rocking the DdRSWTRPWDRTSRT technique. Using a rope wrench with a zigzag, unicender, lockjack and a prussic underneath.

 

 

Seriously though, I have a wrench/stiff tether/pantin/slings+krabs for redirects - what would you recommend for my next purchase? I thought about a hand ascender, but is it just an unnecessary luxury?

Whats the best way to retrieve the climbing line from either running bowline and alphine butterfly with out only using half the length of climbing hope this makes sense

Get a hand ascender for long hauls also use it with a revolver with the tail clipped in it when you go out on long branch walks. Pull the tail on the way back in to tend slack.

In theory the rope will be twice the length of the height using a top tie in point. Not sure what your asking?

Not needed for smaller hauls but add a hand ascender and footloop for long ones
