Via Furnis Traversing

[David Humphries]

During a bit of play time one lunch hour earlier in the week, the Artist formerly known as 'Nutty Arb' has devised a simple and effective self traverse between either two independent Trees or two sections of a crown that are too far to swing between, using just the primary climbing line and an additional prusik.

 

So thought I'd give it a go

He-he. Nice.

I think I have seen Richard Attenbotough doing that but with a bit less grace

[penfold]

i thought david attenbrough did it with more flair though.

Obviously it never went up then. Internet was useless yesterday.

 

Apologies David.

 

I just said that I had done that with an extra prussic on the free end of the rope before, and close up it made a handy third positioning device.

Cool,

 

have you used it more than once?

 

Did you ever make it more ergonomic?

Havn't done it for ages, probably several years since, for crossing a wide crown.

 

Where I used to work , we had a 'very basic amount' of kit and it was something we came up with in the field once to solve an access problem.

 

Its a lot more ergonomic when you don't use 3 strand!

 

As an extra work positioner, maybe 2 or 3 times a year, its a handy little trick.
