Trouser darkening moment today.......

Yes, today i kicked out the VT for a Spiderjack 2.1 Dyneema and set it up on a roof joist.

 

3' off the ground and whooooaaaaaa sheeeet - the instructions weren't kidding about no panic feature..........

 

 

LOW AND SLOW - I GET IT:thumbup1:

Haha, I still get those after a year of use!! Knocking the lever when right out on limb is the scary one. :eek:

Remember those days well. Takes a while to get used to. Have you watched the vids on youtube? Is right about getting the most from the SJ. Have to feed the rope into the device not pull to one side as you do with HC etc. Still get hairy moments with it though.

Really looking forward to that one and can see it coming.

 

Have you watched the vids on youtube?

 

Yes, Spiderjackery 3 is something to aim for

The instructional one is good and what pretty much sold it to me.

 

 

Love the 'no sit-back' and the self tending as opposed to the VT.

It's gonna take a long time to become second nature, but i think i've made the right choice.

 

Cheers both.

Just wait until your above 40 ft, get into position and blink and get pulled closer to the stem, or ivy nudging the lever and sending you flying!

Horrible things, prussik all the way
