50m rope long enough for set?

[James Atkinson]

just wondering if this is long enough, iv never used srt before but im venturing down the RW root soon and want a static climbing line

[Ropechucka]

Am i right in thinking that you use a throw line for this technique and anchor your rope to the base of the tree?

Can do a 50m tree with a choked anchor point SRT. Just use another rope to pull it out with. Or a 25m tree base anchored..

 

50m is plenty for me

Sounds interesting, it's not a technique i use ( i'm old school). 40 meter new england and 2 prussiks with change overs as i go. The method you use that i here quite a lot about obviously has less friction which would no doubt be a lot easier on my tired old frame:biggrin:

I couldnt bare going back to prussics.. VT and hitchclimber for doubled rope. Wrench or Uni for SRT. Happy days.. Ive got a 50m, 37 and 20 ish

too set in my ways i suppose, but i'll certainly look into it though. Thanks for the advice...

If your going to try the RW and SRTWP then just use your current line. I use velocity, taccy or kernmaster depending on the job and crown. Tac runs best on open trees but if find the smaller velocity runs better on dense trees like lime.

 

RW runs great on normal climbing lines so if your dabbling into weather you like it or not then save money before you shell out and could hate it.

You're mental climbing on Prussiks.

I'm not saying you have to convert to SRT or spend much money but if you just bought a Hitch climber pulley, one biner and learn to tie a VT or Distel, life would become a lot easier.

Alright alright I'm mental I agree, and I'll certainly look into this a bit more as I'm all for making life easier. I think time just passes by and that was the way I was taught so i've stuck with it. Thanks for the advice.
