Hi,
I'm about to have my first climbing work day on friday and have just parted with a load of cash for gear..
I did a training course with a school that taught me double rope technique, with a cambium saver setup. The team I am working with all use a fixed rope to ascend and then (I think) switch to a double rope at the top to work with. They will be showing me this on friday.
I'm interested to know if people use this system in the UK? (I am english but based in Germany)
I am finding it a bit confusing to understand exactly how it all works, and would be really grateful for a step by step run down of this kind of setup.
The ascending rope is anchored onto the tree, but I don't quite understand how the ascending rope is cinched up top...
or how the switch to the other system at the top works?
They are really nice and patient but I still don't want to seem totally clueless!
Let me know if that doesn't make any sense, the terminology is all different here!
