LOL, so the elder statesmen have bad knees and backs, but the youngsters are wimps..... I think I know who has the last laugh

Yes it looks amazing but not cheap for occasional use... I just posted another reply with a vid link showing the kind of thing you are saying. My main line uses a zigzag so I guess I could continue using that with this set up

Excellent thanks again treequip, good to know the name, and yes I have since seen the set up with the micro pulley. God I love learning this stuff, its fascinating and so much fun trying it out
-
Thanks madasever (LOL) Heres a vid of a guy doing what I think you mean, could you check it out when you have a mo and see if it is. At 40 secs he uses a long tail in the same way as the original guy...... [ame= ] [/ame]

Thanks Treequip, I know about SRT but hadn't made the connection to this Good call thanks
-
You have explained it perfectly Climber85, I did wonder if he even had a pulley on there, but I think he has. I think I'll try it your way and see how I go. thanks fella

Stihl all the way. I use the spout rather than auto stop one for the oil and pour and the petrol push one has no problems. Had a husky one for a week once before it went on the fire it wasn't fit for purpose LOL bet that went up well

...of a guy dismantling a pole, top down ing, or whatever we want to call it, and he had a flip line and his main climbing line. He used some kind of pulley system on his main line so once he had dropped a section he disconnected his flip, dropped on his main line, reconnected his flip, ascended a foot or so, then pulled another line and his pulley'd main line released and dropped to him. He then re attached it, as one would a secondary line, took off another section and repeated the whole process. Looked very cool but I have never seen it done like that over here. Is this normal practice for you more experienced peeps? and if so what pulley/kit do you use for the secondary/main line? The video if you want to see what I'm babbling about is here: and to save time the best example is at 16:40

Always used one of these, and anyone who ever used mine, wanted one! Occasionally the threads become weak, but you can buy replacement 'heads'. Overall amazing piece of kit.

Saver not needed, but would recommend whistle, and helmet in date (classic miss)

Passed my 38/39 recently at 48. I was certainly the oldest there but as only about 50% of those taking the course passed, I don't think age is everything
