Art rope guides

[philip9992000]

Has anybody had any problems with them

[CJM]

My best mate who I work with has one and we use it if we want. It's an awesome bit of kit specially if you are using a mechanical aid like a lock jack. I've never had it or seen it stuck but nothing comes close to the ease of use and retrieval

 

You can get away with using a couple of quid prussik and a crotch but this will make you more efficient, save your back and arms. Try using a rope guide with a lock jack or something similar i actually look like what I'm doing I'm sure my body will thank me for it in years to come. I'm on the verge of getting one but it'll propably be after xmas now.

For a full set up your looking in the region of £400 (including mechanical aid zig zag LJ etc) just for people lurking, plus you'll need a spliced eyed rope to attach your retrieval toggle

Fantastic bit of kit worth every penny, get one you will not regret it

Sounds a expensive bit of kit in a world of expensive equipment to start , think i will stick to the tried and tested way .............more sweat and grunting .

Frictionless climbing is so sweet wether its incorporating a pulley or cocoon....sheer bliss!

ART is smart....but Teufelberger for me:thumbup:

Make no mistake it can and will get stuck in tight forks. I've had mine stuck twice today, one in a birch and one in a lime....but it's worth the occasional red letter day, great bit of kit, had mine for years and use it on pretty much every tree I go up. Good idea to keep an access line in larger trees....just in case!!

I`ve got one pulley saver with a cocoon and one with the plain pulley. I`ve got to say the cocoon is pretty but the pulley retrieves better.

What is it like to use for section felling poles

 

 

to use while chogging down sections?

 

will be too much hassle!

 

as it was suggested in your other thread....

 

Steel core flip line with rope and running bowline & prussik as a safety line, so if you slip it will bind and catch you.

 

very easy to flip them both up and down together as you move on your spikes.
