Is the Silky for those pesky TPO trees? :001_tt2:

 

 

You mentioned a grappling hook a while ago, when you were comparing the differences between working in the UK and BC. I've since been intrigued about how you use it.

 

I'd be very interested to see some more of it and how you use it Reg.

 

First rate work and filming, as per usual.

Thanks Joe. I generally use either the tail end of my climb line or a separate short short rope. The idea is to through the grapple over a target limb and then get it to hook on something below that. Some video here. Use HD setting otherwise its not so clear.
