climbing tecnique

[basilbrush]

Hi I have been thinking of switching to srt with bulldog bone . I climb on zigzag or prussic. My question is do you climb the tree on drt first then install srt or do you use a throw line then climb to the most suitable tie in point to work from. I find that with zigzag its best to climb with two short lines with prussic install a cambium saver at the tie in point and install zigzag. I hope this makes sense .... your thoughts please .

Have you seen anyone climb SRT before? I would defiantly advise you get on some form of climb be it a course or recreational.

 

I've been climbing complete SRT now for a few years. But a throw line is key to getting either a top tie in point or a non isolated base anchor.

 

What ever device it is you chose to use drt has no part to play at all. Depending on how good your throw line skills are there should really be no need to reset your main tie in point. Just redirect your line if need be. There are a few great videos on SRT but there's nothing like seeing it being done from a personnel perspective

If any thing access is SRT's best point even to get an anchor for your zig zag then switch over until your confident enough to go the whole climb SRT, that's how I got to grip with it any way.

Hi Adam maybe you should do a vid on throw lines and tie in points ? Thanks for the info.

The good thing about the BDB is that you can use it drt and srt. If you don't get the perfect tip with the throwline, just srt up, then drt or srt to your tip and then set your srt tip.
