The other bits and bobs you have for mountaineering will probably fill the gaps.

 

Thanks for all the advice and yeah, I've seen a GriGri used in SRT base anchor application for rescue, the worlds cross over enough for each to learn from the other I believe. British mountaineers are so obsessed with there only being one way of doing things, thin prussiks etc... meanwhile in the Italian alps I worked with some mountain guides who just use munters and biners!

Well i never, that would probably do as a start as it's a small investment. For me it all has to be the same, good throw lining is about being consistent. That kit would help to hone your technique.

 

I like the Italians way of thinking, in tree work there is huge variation and opinion.

What's your excuse when you miss?

60% of the time i get top anchor every time, the rest is spent in fits of emotion ranging from pure rage to self pity and actual tears.

 

It was just an example, this is what I have gathered over the years, the Faltheimer Cubes are expensive so is Zing It but if you look after it (ie when it's stuck don't snap it out just get another line) they last a long time.

I'd be after 75% after spending out that much! Mind you 7.5% would be an improvement for me.

 

It's help if I didn't reach for the big shot every time i guess
