At the risk of sounding like a womans hygiene commercial, the sense of freedom you get on the way down is unparalleled being able to move 360 degrees around a clear spar is awesome and the only friction your dealing with is 7 inches above your bridge. Its going to completely reinvent Masters climbs if and when it gets accepted.

Having the Petzl Anthron and foot loop above the normal Rope Wrench, Lanyard over the shoulder system with the pantin made ascent alot smoother and faster. Easily as fast as any S.R.T system i've used previously for canopy access. Once i reached the canopy it was just a simple case of unclipping the hand ascender/foot loop, storing it on my hip and unclipping the pantin from the line. The best part is, is from there you are now free to work. I found once in the canopy keeping your L.O.T.S held the rope wrench up as you moved towards the TIP meaning you only had to tend slack from beneath the VT as opposed to pulling yourself up, holding your weight on one arm and pulling slack from beneath the pulley in your traditional Ddrt Hitch Climber system. (You still had to hold your weight on one arm as you tended slack mind you, just on a branch or the stem.) Really excited to see how single line tree climbing and working is going to evolve in the years to come and how long it will take the manufacturers and industry to get onboard with evolution! Still kinda excited to try the spider jack to.. just fror arguments sake

Awesome day! First bin full by Ten o clock, Second by half 1.. and a third of a bin for the drive home.. Check the Sunlight on the house in the after shots..

Been climbing on Arrow Frog for the last week and love it. Light, visible, seems to glide well on Pantin and HC. Has a durable feel but only time will tell. Havent had a chance to use micro frog SRT on it yet..
