That's a really unfortunate typo...

For SRT all you really need is a rape sling and mini crab for advancing your system though.

 

I suppose a rape sling would be useful in some applications but Arb work isn't one of them.

Plus, there are probably forums dedicated to all that sick sh1t, you'll probably find them on the dark web.

 

:lol:

How do you discipline your lads then?

SRT vs DDRT? The is no competition. Both are fantastic techniques that all climbers should have at their disposal..

 

I wouldn't try to SRT crane work, neither would I try and deadwood multiple large trees a day only using DDRT.

I just posted this in another thread - this was actually the appropriate thread so sorry to repost, I'll try and phrase it differently -

 

What about a descender device on the harness, combined with a hand ascender further up the rope, with the tail of the rope going back up to a pulley attached to the hand ascender? This is working pretty well for me. Its like a moving DRT tie in point on a single rope. When the desired hight is reached, the ascender can be left in place and limb waking can be done with the descender. When returning to vertical, just pulling the tail gives a 2:1 advantage, like with Drt. If something happens to the hand ascender the descender device still holds you and allows return to the ground.

 

This is how the commercial rope access guys seem to do it on buildings. Anyone else going this route?
