When taking dismantling a stem

[educated arborist]

has anyone thought of haveing like a gri gri at base of tree, with the rope going up the pole and through a tied off sling and krab thn onto your harness. so if you did need rescueing all the groundie needs to do is lower you by the belay device at the bottom quick and simple and easy to set up, and easy to move down as you move down the pole.

 

:scared1:NOT a gri gri, an ID! it looks the same but is not the same.

tbh i have tried that but imo having a pulley that fits through the ring so it proper cinches up seems better

 

 

anyone that wants to can splice

but imo you have to want to

and then put the time and sore hands into making them easy to do

i was going to say splicing is easy but tbh splicing is easier now have got it sorted:thumbup:

 

oooh how'd u get them CE'd then bob??????? ha ha only teasing:001_tongue:

I will tie off with a running bowline incase my spikes decided they don't want to stay put. But if i decide to do a decent its so easy just to put a fig 8 into the system why do anything else or more complicated imo.
