SRT: Since when?

[scotspine1]

0 ft because industry best practice states he would be tied in with a lanyard.

 

not if he was moving around the canopy between cuts

[Mark Bolam]

So you're talking about a slip then, not an accident?

Surely there are no SRTA s only SRTI s?

[Mike Hill]

I think it was in the year of1402 if my memory serves me correctly. Just after I invented the toothpick.

 

 

Modest to a fault you are Ian.

Hahahah yep 😚. But it's good to know that your still stalking me on every social media platform.

Just enjoying exposing the lies you tell Ian.

 

Nothing more than keeping you honest

 

In a way like that Judge you told to "go ----k himself" that time you were in Court.

 

Remember that story?

I've been working off an SRT system since Ian Flatters started the Rope Wrench thread.

I read that first page then emailed Kevin Bingham and ordered one. (I think)

both - accident on ascent for example......or moving around between cuts

 

for 65ft the answer is 200ft or just over 3 times the length from access branch/tie in point to ground.

SRT has been about for ages in tree climbing - though mainly purely as access - it was and still is very popular among the scientific community conducting canopy research. For me the big game changer was the introduction of the Rope wrench and then other devices that allowed a RAD's (rapid ascent and descent system) that was effective enough on the ascent to be used in tree work without having to change things over and worked well enough for branch walking - I think it has really kicked off now at least here in the south of sweden - a company i was working with had a split of 2 climbers on DdRT and 3 including myself using SRT as much as possible (though i will was DdRT still has its place)

Ian, you told a judge to go **** himself?? How is that pan out??
