SRT ascent with DdRT work positioning Combo
wjotner replied to wjotner's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
Some really helpful replies there guys, thanks. The cocoons and twin ropeguides are probably a little pricey and complex for me right now. I'm still just climbing on Doubled rope with a hitchclimber. I reckon it would take some practice getting it right and I don't have the spare cash to experiment right now. But definitely one for the future. Rich Rule's idea is a good one. And something I reckon i'd try out. The only problem might be coming down. If you come down on Ddrt system, you can't retrieve the SRT line. But you can't come down on the SRT line without burning through the Prussic. I guess I'd need a Rope Wrench or something on the SRT to deal with that? What do you reckon? Cheers -
Ok, so I'm trying to find some info on how to set up the following: I want to set and ascend on a Single Line. But I want to work off DdRT. I want a setup where I basically have my Ddrt setup pre-anchored to the SRT line so that when I reach the the top, I can just sit back into the Ddrt and start working. The advantage of this being the easier and quicker ascent and, if done correctly, the possibility of a moveable top anchor from which you can maybe use multiple re-directs, but still have the mechanical advantage of Ddrt while moving about within the canopy. I've seen something about it on internet once before, but can't find it again. Has anyone ever tried this technique? And if so, what Pro's and Con's have you found? Thanks Will

Reliable, hard working, safe climber with cs30,31,38,39 tickets, level 3 arb diploma and nearly 3 years climbing experience, looking for part-time subbie climbing work around the Peak District, Stockport, South Yorkshire.

Can anyone recommend a body shop that can fix up a tipper body (add new sides and weld floor) near Sheffield please?
-
ok, good to know. thanks
-
The Buxton site is for domestic use really, and my tipper van might be a give away that i'm trade. Though i may try there if desperate. The one is Chesterfield is worth a try. thanks.

Help! I've got a new job where it's mandatory to wear Hi-Viz all day no matter what the job. This means i have to buy some new Chainsaw trousers.

Query on day rates for climbers in North of England
wjotner replied to wjotner's topic in General chat
Cheers chaps. At least one or two replies were actually useful. I know i can't expect current london rates of £120-£150 in all likelihood, but i would hope to make at least £100 a day right? -
Hi all, I've now posted this query in the right section hopefully... I'm currently working in London and planning on moving to yorkshire/lancashire/cumbria next year. What kind of day rate can a decent climber hope to earn up there? Thanks Will
-
Oops, wrong forum to post in apprently as noone can reply to this. Please ignore, I'll repost.

Having trouble getting my CS39 assessment booked with Capel Manor because I don't want to do the course (course not required - been climbing with chainsaws fine for long enough) So are there any alternative places or people within reach of London where I can book myself an assessment? Thanks Will
-
<p>Thats fair enough. I'll get CS39 assessment as soon as Capel Manor college will book me in. They're not the most efficient.</p>
<p>£120 is on the low side of what i can earn in London, so for me to travel all the way to Kent it would have to be worth my while, working for less makes no financial sense at the moment.</p>
<p>However, do keep in touch. my number is 07967 361 604.</p>
<p>Thanks, Will</p>
