    Thanks that helps me out alot. I'll work out some way of making the anchor midline attachable either with a maillon or other. I know aluminium carabiners are a no go for being side loaded but is it alright to use steel ones?

    So are you using a base anchor and going through a natural crotch, or, using a Alpine butterfly and using a top anchor? Or what? Do you also have some one else on site who is also competent in srt? I'm working with some new fellas who have not been exposed to any of these techniques and are used to using minimal gear. Been teaching them simple redirects on ddrt and a couple of new knots, don't want to over load them.

    Make one. Plenty on this here, even one that can be made without a splice that I saw the other day while browsin. Gonna be pretty cheap, DMM pinto and a couple meters of prussik cord. Maybe an half an hour to make. and it's always better to have new gear rather than pre abused stuff. Matt

    Are you using you R W on all trees or just on larger stuff? I find I'm only using mine when it calls for a decent accent (say over 10m). Apart from that I'm just using ddrt because on the ease of changing anchor points. I'm finding it's taking considerable time to change anchor using srt, but maybe that's because my static line is too long. Matt
