Throw line and throw weights and techniques

[Darrin Turnbull]

I'm going back to my two in one throw line again.

 

 

 

I bought some Stein throw line 1.8mm . The first two weeks perfect . But after the coating wears off. Such a pita.

What's a two in one throw line?

Is that two lines tied together?

[Darrin Turnbull]

The red one is 2mm spliced into the yellow one which is 3mm for strength.

thanks

been reading this, dropping the weight back down on a loop of line to avoid having to pull the weight back over twigs where it could tangle has been a great find.

How difficult is it to get dyneema line down once caught in the tree.

 

if it's well and truly tangled, very difficult. I can snap my non dyneema one just by wearing gloves and wrapping the line between glove and elbow, easy.

The dyneema one is probably safe to climb on - had to go back to the van for scissors.

I love these things...so satisfying hitting anchor point then installing friction saver,rope etc from the ground...bought a new one today. £11 cheap as chips....will be tethering it with magic speed of course :thumbup:

Do you still use your slug Paul?

[silky fox]

It always worked well but just not heavy enough.. only got stuck a handful of times in hundereds of throws....but too light.

12 oz is perfect for accurate 60 foot hand throws.

Yeah 12oz is about right isn't it, you can get good height, and it's still got enough weight to come down on most barks.
