It's quite often switching the single rope as well, sometimes I'll start climbing double rope and then get to a point where I think this would be so much easier on a single line, so then I either tie off the end of my line on the stem, send it down to base tie or tie a running figure of 8 and sinch it up to the tie in point As I frequently have the rope wrench clipped to the back of my harness anyway.

 

Double rope is a hard habit to kick! I find myself reverting to it for a week or so, just because it's so familiar to me, then I'll 'wrench' for a tricky reduction and I'm like ahh why don't i do this for everything! But saying that I do prefer double rope for smaller trees

This is mine at the mo. A wild country QuickDraw, 2 layers of heat shrink and a petzl string on the krab end. Like the versatility of the karabiner attachment, means I can switch from drt to srt very quickly. Plus the middle attachment on the hitch climber is kept free for clipping to chest when ascending

 

Nice and tidy. What hitch is that bro, its tiny! That is pretty handy set up for a quick change to double line, however I tend to aim to get my line through a few forks, for the simple fact if one does decide to give way then im backed up, and also it like having multiple anchors, I tend to work part of the tree from one fork then climb up or pull my rope through, then work other areas of the tree from the second anchor/fork the rope is through. Man I love single line :biggrin:

Just a distil but tied real short to minimise sit back, works pretty well for srt or ddrt, to be honest it's more often that I switch from double to single rather than the other way round

 

that said my preferred method for srt is to tie off to my final anchor with a figure 8 tied to an anchor ring choked to my line. Saves having anything else hanging in the tree, then when I'm finished I return to my anchor, take off the rope wrench, clip the figure 8 straight into my hitch climber an descend double rope, Sounds a faff, but it's actually pretty simple and quick

I am university student from Finland and got inspired into treeclimbing. Since I´ve been dumping money into treestuff and doing DdRT-rec-climbs, last weekend finally ordered Pantin and got ready to test my self-made RW-rip-off (sry Bingham, only for rec-cli use).

Watercutted aluminium and tether is now rewamped from this loose cordandhose-thingy into stiffer one.

Awesome hobby and I just had a little like-an-arrangement to remove little birch from upon my uncles garage, great lean but good upper anchorpoint in a pine next to it. Looking forward to have a nice try with real treework.

Jepp, currently have 30cm heat-shrinked dyneema sling in hose which is tight in lenght but gotta work these wider bumpers due to flopping you mentioned. happy to see such a living forum like this and this device is rocksolid idea. When I discovered it I immediately wanted to make one. I cant make my ropes and krabs, so gotta spare somewhere else =)
