Straight up (and down) help...

[sloth]

Hi guys and gals, I'm thinking of setting myself a challenge involving straight up and down a tree repeatedly. Normally I'd foot lock a doubled line to go up, and use ddrt with hitch & pulley for everything else. I feel this would be painfully inefficient and slow for constant ascending and descending. I'd like to keep gear and new expensive toys to a minimum. With that in mind, what suggestions do you all have to offer?

Thanks in advance. ..

Seriously? What on earth for? You want to go up and down a tree repeatedly?

What exactly will you achieve doing it quickly or slowly?

Have you seen the temperature? Are the pubs all shut or something:001_smile:

Is it going to be for charity or something?

Sorry I'm lost and have no idea what the question is, or is there even a question. Maybe it's about life,maybe it's about the universe. Why are we here,what's our purpose...............

 

Hope this helps

Why is it strange to want to repeatedly ascend and decend a tree, but ok to run round a track or swim back and forth in a pool??????

You're completely hatstand.

A big pogo stick? up down, up down, up down.

Bungee jump?

A MEWP?

Foot lock up, free fall down? (only works once)

Just change to a Hitch Hiker or Rope Wrench. Foot lock the tail. Up and down all day long, fast and safe.

How high do you want to ascend?

 

Get a ladder that tall!

 

Simple.
