My doubled rope walker

[Rob Murf]

After seeing Gerald B video of Doubled rope walker i finally got a chance to try it today. I used a basic with footloop and pantin which i already had with my SRT rope walker so i can use it on both. Srt is great for big stuff but mostly i double rope the smaller trees (up to 25 meters).

Another great tool in the "toolbox'.

The groundies promtly named it the "bicycle".

No it a petzel "basic" with an elastic runner up to a small prussic attached above the spliced eye end of the climbing line.

Looks like a very tidy ropewalker there Rob.Very nice gear allround too.Looks like your having fun.I really like this system and I would encourage anyone else to try it out.Its relatively cheap.It works well.Its fun.No changeovers required,no ascender backups required.Easy to get used to.Im converted.

Love this idea. Does the Basic move as freely as the Pantin?

i think it moves a bit smoother than the pantin tony

Yes but takes a bit of getting used too after just using a pantin for so long now.

Used it again today ...looks like it will be standard kit from now on. So simple to pack up when u wont to decend.

Just loved Gerald B's cruisy style of prunning.
