The original post shows the climber's rope has become stuck...the retrieval ball that is used to pull through the large ring and catch the smaller ring returning his anchoring device and rope safely back to earth,unfortunately has wrapped itself around the rope and stuck fast....

 

 

Ahh! Cheers Mr Fox👍

Thanks for being the first to ask Mull, :biggrin:

 

 

Haha, understand it now, clever system, now thinking would a more pear shaped ball 'sometimes' pull itself out of the half hitch before it tightened? Depends how rope lies on tree and where pressure is coming from!

Last time I climbed a tree I was 9yrs old😀

not as bad as getting the rings the wrong way round, or just pulling it through forgetting you used a cambium saver.!

the pic looks like a set judging by the postion of the cambium saver ,looks like its hanging of a small branch :biggrin:

 

Mmmmm, now you mention it:sneaky2:
