I'd seen enough after watching the first two and a half, was like one disaster movie after another:001_tt2:

 

Bob, what cemetery was that in the background?

Peel green and all ended well not a single thing broken

now, dont get me wrong here, ive never posted any footagwe of my work.

but i totally agree here.

perhaps a modification of your risk assement is over due, if your groundie finds this when you up the top of the tree?

 

after 17yrs exp climbing, and 10yrs working for my college assesor as a a main climber, i know how to tie knots, and using some sort of double wrapped overhand granny knot is not good in my view. also that knot in the rope reduces the working limit by huge margins if used on BIG timber and i would certainly not be proud of showing these vids to the open world on utube. and that goes for a sink at that angle as well, or was it a step cut?

 

now, you dont know me, and i don know you, so perhaps the above comments are harsh. but 1 video was enough for me.

 

in my view showing any form of professional work needs to be up to scracth to be shown on this type of site.

sorry.

good luck:001_smile:

Well lads I'm sorry but round turn two half hitches is proper knot and I've been at it for 20 yrs and I'd stack up against the timber hitch any day it don't slip it ALWAYS comes undone without fail it can be tied with one hand and it was shown to me by an instructor.. nah so there .. What are you lads using?

Yep there are some clangers but it was a really hard ivy riddled tree with only one anchor and that was the second day, take it for what it is a normal day at the office not a show day at for college
