Got lots of talk about about base attachment but what about the top of a stem. I do a lot of crane removals and need to repeal after hooking the ball. I just wanted to know what other people have been using.

I only reallyusetop anchor for sort that way can tie it myself once I've ascended tree, don't have to rely on anyone else

 

Make srt line the length from you to the floor to ensure u can get down overs suitable anchor point.

 

Tie alpine butterfly knot on non climbing end of the rope

 

Attach mallion to butterfly knot attach climbing line so it runs through mallion until it cynches on ancor point. Srt on this end!

 

Once descended pull on other end, rope should run through mail lion and eventually pull down

 

I have made up a special spanner for mail lion and have it attaced to harness with short length of starter cord.

 

Been doing this 6 month not got stuck yet sometimes needs a good tug to get down best to plan final descent in same line as redundant end of rope.

I have been pulling up my tail lowering it to around were i want to make my cut then putting an anchor hitch on a biner and clipping it back on the rope and going Down to the tail and pulling it down. Similar style different techniques.

You could use a monkey tail (don't know if this is the technical term but its what my mate told me it was and now I can't think of it as anything else!!) Ring spliced onto a length of cord. Place ring through end of rope, pull the length of slack through for the peice of timber you want to cut. Tie 6 wrap prussic and back up however you like. Decend and when you're done, pull the tail and it pulls down.

Exactly.

I can't see one benefit of descending SRT.
