Old Git is thinking of SRT ! Good Idea ?

[Old Mill Tree Care]

Im an old git who still loves climbing

ive been interested in SRT , what are the advantages ?

i climb on DRT with lock jack (which i like alot)

but wonder if i should give SRT ago

any comments welcome:thumbup:

 

I'm an old git too, 39 when I started SRTWP, 41 now.

 

I climbed on a Lockjack for over 8yrs and loved then bought a RW and then a Hitch Hiker as soon as I saw the photo. I felt that the HH would suit me 'feel' requirements better, and it has.

 

I suggest you read the threads n the SRT forum to gather more info and the only advice I can offer you at this stage is that almost every RW user that tries the HH prefers the HH, not the other way round.

I also predict that you'll prefer the HH after your years on an LJ.

Cost is roughly the same.

FYI I've found it very beneficial to change to SRTWP. At first you'll find that you overwork your arms but very soon you're technique improves and everything becomes easier.

It's a much more physically efficient way to climb and as a few smart people have previously said, 'climb smarter not harder'.

 

Most useful recent threads are 'SRT Q&A' and 'The Hitch Hiker Thread'.

'The Rope Wrench Thread' is excellent but very long.

 

Join in on the SRT forum threads and all your questions will be answered.

Your right, i preferred the HH over the RW, mostly because its close by. I am thinking of buying a HH to go with my RW, Uni, RW/LJ.......

 

Oh get adam bourne off her to make you a 10" tether for it. Worth every penny.

Thanks roni

its a mind field:blushing:

A pic of RW/VT/hitch climber. I attach a bungee tool strop from centre back of harness over shoulder and attach to centre hole on HC to automatically advance VT, and pantin on foot. Have never tried the HH.
