Friction Hitches & Devices for SRTWP

[stewmo]

Not sure exactly. Ask Petzl haha! Might be orientation?

I probably would have got the CT one but that would have been a separate order and yet more bloody postage...

You have to get the velox now RMac !!! Hadn't seen that joe but it looks good !

 

Damn it! I thought I have all the gear I need.

 

Now I've got to get a Velox. Is there no end to it??!!

Well the stuff I ordered arrived yesterday, Rope Wrench, CT Foot Ascender and 4SRT Split Stiff Tether, also picked up a CT Simple Ascender.

 

Been playing with the set-up today using a 10.5 mm climbing rope and a few sewn slings, unfortunately I was using the landing and didn't really have enough height to get into my stride with the foot ascender/knee ascender but it was working.

 

I only have Marlow Boa prussik cord but tried a VT and then a Distel but I think my prussik is too long as I'm getting more set-back than I'd like. Also tried using the simple ascender with a DMM Revolver as a pulley to simulate a branch walk return, that seemed to work ok too.

 

I'll need to order some 8mm cord to experiment with different length prussiks (can't afford a proper SRT Rope yet) but I've ordered some 1" plain and some 1" tubular webbing to see if I can't make a better foot sling for the knee ascender.

 

So all seems good so far, thanks to you guys who answered my questions and offered advice.

 

p.s. I see Honey Brothers have the HAAS Velox in stock

A cynical person might think they were after our money!

Oh Dear, it appears I'm guilty of encouraging you all to spend money.

 

Oh well one good turn deserves another
