Climbing spikes emergency rescue help!

[Dog Tag]

Don't have it directly infront of you. Move it round to stem. And if your not on a nice straight bit and good old gravity is trying to spin you round the stem. Twist the sling round and use it to hold you where you want to be. If that makes and spence at all.

Ta for that. Spiderjacks are not great for clogging down.

Choke rope with bowline and use a rig/ d4/ id style device is my preference on ookes or palms.

Normally just choke my line to the stem, not a fan of figure 8's in tree work. If I am concerned about friction on a single leg of line preventing quick bail out I.'ll use a short sling large ring and carabiner above the hitch like the revolver f8 technique I'll try to upload a pic, or just YouTube f8 revolver technique.

 

Over girth hitching or friction savers I prefer choking my line as its easier to move down the stem, also you can twist it around the stem on leaning stems to help give you support if that makes sense.

 

I do exactly as Marc says. Except with a running bowline and RW. Easy bailout option on any sized stem. You can also offset it towards the other side of a stem if you need to lean around etc.

running bowline on your climbing line choked below your flipline/strop with your climbing line running through a karabiner or tool hook to stop you spiking it. just done my cs38 and that's what the instructor recommended but they do only teach you the basics.

I assume a grigri would also work for this application?
