Retrievable tie in point SRT

[DrewB]

 

 

This may help with a few canopy anchors

i think this is my favourite tie in method. eliminates any chance of side loading the pulley or opening the carabiner ( not that i really think thats a huge issue anyway)

Surely you can't retreive it through redirects though?

[DrewB]

yep, sure can.

Is that the tail of your rope on the crab?

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.

 

The simple answer is no. But those are the cuts where i deem it extremely unlikely for me to cut myself.. So really its kind of irrelevant.

can't remember. it could be but could also just be any length thats long enough to pull it down

Thanks for the answer Ben.

However I think it is entirely relevant because it's about being lowerable, or not.

No DdRT or SRT system is lowerable if the climber becomes incapacitated and can't undo their lanyard.

Personally, I hardly use my lanyard at all when making cuts. I'm not reckless, I just don't regard it as necessary if my work position is good and I never cut near myself or my rope anyway.

 

Edit: Sorry, I just realised this isn't the base anchor thread.

How many times have people heard of people getting hurt in the tree and can't get themselves down or got bee stings?Just curious..

[BenR]

Ive been attacked by bees in the tropics before on the way up.. However, I was already on my way down by the time the guys has started lowering me...
