Throw line rope installation

[NickinMids]

Hi

 

Just started using SRT for access mainly. Had a cheap throw line in bag for ages but mostly used it for putting pull lines into trees. Now have big shot and cube, but am wondering how much difference an expensive (throw) line will make. Also would it be prudent to keep a spare one in case one gets stuck etc and finally is it worth getting a range of different weight bags. what are the whys and wherefores of using the different types.

 

Used a foot and knee ascender this weekend. Couldn't believe it. Easier than walking up a ladder:001_smile:

 

Thanks

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

The Throwpod is good kit, but any bags with nose-straps are good for rapid attachment

Harrison Rockets are great, but not sure if they do a 16oz.

i just put together a cannon for throw bags works too well the only problem was knocking off branches we were easily getting 150ft

Cheers...will have a look at all those

Nose straps..?? to attach main line to? rather than untying bag...?

[NickinMids]

Yes just read the web page on Harrison Rockets

 

Final question..what do you think is the best range of lengths...or just leave it at 50 mts

Yep. Mini crab and boom!

I find 50m fine for hand throwing.

Any more would just complicate things.

Just under 80' each end is plenty where I work.
