Great vid of a smooth looking job, thanks.

 

The song is from the 'O Brother Where art Thou' soundtrack isn't it?

[tommer9]

Nice- really good vid. Well executed mate.

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Yep, it's 'I'm A Man Of Constant Sorrow' by The Soggy Bottom Boys. Nice work too Tim. Pesky Picea....

Looked like fun. Was that a capstan or a bollard you were using?

[Tom D]

Nice work Tim, I hate those things, thats two less to worry about.

[Amelanchier]

A great vid as always Tim. Its been said earlier but I love the fact you can hear the ropes and the hinges over the ukelele!

Everyone,

 

Thanks for all the positive comments, was a good day to have the camera out.

 

Where was that?

 

A small village in Stirlingshire, it was Martyn1's job, I was subby climbing that day.

 

well done to the groundie

 

Martyn controlling the ropes, good having an experienced climber running the ropes on the ground.

 

Like the cord thru the wedges, great idea that i'll be nicking !

 

yeah, its an oldie but a goodie, clip the wedge cord biner into the spliced eye end of the flipline, you can see it in the second clip in the vid.

 

Looked like fun. Was that a capstan or a bollard you were using?

 

yep, was good fun in that weather, the lowering device was a large Buckingham Port-A-Wrap III -

 

 

I hate those things, thats two less to worry about

 

They've definatley got their own set of problems, sap clogging up the ropes being the main one.
