Retrievable tie in point SRT

[Old Mill Tree Care]

It's been covered on several threads mate. But this is how me and a few others make a retrievable top tie [ATTACH]171424[/ATTACH][ATTACH]171425[/ATTACH]

 

 

That's it Adam. I do the same but with a 10mm oval Mallion.

Having said that, I'm now generally on a lowerable base anchor, for safety reasons.

Really don't get the hype on these rescue base anchors! Ok don't get me wrong they do have there place. I just feel people are making over complicated setups for no reason what's so ever. We never had lower-able set ups like this in ddrt. The chances of the climber having an accident without being lanyard in is pretty slim. IMO the most effective rescue anchors are the most simple.

The only time I use a ground based rescue system is for newbie climbers or for myself on first ascents into tropical trees, there could be bees snakes etc etc up there.

I just tie an alpine butterfly above the running bowline. Connect to another rope via a crab, take a wrap right round another tree and cut the rope between the alpine butterfly and running bowline.

Same here rich it's nice and simple low if any gear and although not fool proof very hard to get wrong

Yes mate as above in the post. Just need to isolate the anchor point which I'm sure a climber of your capability already new mate hehe!

 

Don't you love it when something so obvious becomes clear to you..

 

Haha cheers Adam

So maybe we should all be lower able, single and doubled rope alike.

 

Do you actually lanyard in for every cut that you make? That's a question to everyone.
