Your opinions on the best ropes for SRT?
Ian Flatters replied to danholls's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
Just edited it for you -
The only thing i will say is the midland radios dont survive a fall from 95ft up, even onto soft ground.

I'll be honest with you paul if i didnt climb srtwp i would buy one. Regardless of the lifespan of a rope i really think its a good piece of kit, stupidly responsive when you almost assume its going to need the same force as a lj or sj. Good job im used to bombing it out on a uni or i may of had a brown pants moment

Hitch Hiker thread.
Ian Flatters replied to Old Mill Tree Care's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
It was an example of something low, nothing more just trying to get my head round why somethings have low failure strength and others high. just not sure why they dont or if they do have a rec kn level what it is. -
Quality pics Ollie

A bit of a call out this morning, dead beech failure close to some power lines. We winched the stem 180ft to the log pile rather than cutting it up on the spot. We also used pretty much all of the 160ft of rigging line during the lower.
