    Aerial Lift/ Climber Rescue Tips?

    Thanks for your response! My question is about a proficient aerial lift operator/ climber only equipped with a fall arrest harness while working aloft. His or her climbing gear is located on the ground. Would it make more sense to beeline to the ground in the bucket, then don the correct ppe for...

    Aerial Lift/ Climber Rescue Tips?

    Any recommendations or resources you have in regards to a specific aerial rescue scenario. There is a climber working aloft in conjunction with a bucket operator. It’s a two person crew and the climber becomes an unconscious victim. What ways would your crews go about a similar situation? Would...

    Rope spools for SRS and MRS for and organization

    Some folks I work with like a 1:1 climb... others like a 2:1 climb. We are currently equipped with a dwindling spool of tachyon ash for both parties. What are some of your preferred middle of the road favs for climb lines??

    Approved Mechanical Devices

    Why isn’t the rope runner approved? Oh wait... Petzl, Rock Exotica, Notch and ISC( rope wrench) all sponsor these events. So the new rope runner pro will probably end up being allowed too I’m guessing

    What Grinds Your Gears?

    The blatant disregard for an active work site! Something about cones and signs that attract random people like flies!

    He’s pretty proud of it too! He’s asking 400 bucks for a prototype

    Awesome insight! A secondary access line is definitely a major advantage for a safe, more efficient aerial rescue.

    UK. Two ropes at all times(USA next?)

    Thank you for your explanation of this concept! I’d be very curious on the data behind this U.K. decision to change. Near misses, hits and the fatalities of using one rope and a safety lanyard vs. 2 fucking separate lines. Convince us. Btw I want the safest BPMs we can come up with!!

    UK. Two ropes at all times(USA next?)

    Man I’m torn on the subject. I’ve used two lines in many applications in trees and it’s been very useful. I do however see how redundant it can be also. The tree gear sites are gonna looove selling double of everything used for life support too haha!

    Well stated Jan! I appreciate the comment as well. This would be a last resort option for rescue for sure! Thanks

    SRT Aerial Rescue

    Given that the tie in point is able to support the weight of two climbers, is it a feasible option to use the retrieval side of a canopy anchor( alpine butterfly cinch) as an access line to rescue a climber??

    TRT

    It’s a bummer the videos Johnny Pro put up have been taken down. Does anybody know how he base ties, sets up the “floating” TRT anchor, and retrieves the whole thing?? The technique seems useful for the decurrent trees I work on.

    TRT

    Truly a shame Johnny Pro’s videos are no longer available. I’ve tried the “ floating anchor” method he uses but I’m struggling to figure out how to set it from the ground and make it all retrievable. I can see the potential of this technique being utilized in the sprawling, decurrent trees I...

    Why is the Singing Tree RR not approved? Does it have something to do with it being midline attachable and relying on slic pins to attach to the line?

    Favorite Foot Ascender??

    Love to know what y’all are running as far as a foot ascenders goes. I’ve been rocking the pantin(with catch) but would love suggestions. I dig the pantin for its compact size. Any thoughts on the jet step???

    Best Gloves for Climbing?

    I typically climb without gloves because I have always felt that I’ve had a better grip, and like the feeling of the actual tree as I climb. I have tried several different types of climbing gloves but still end up taking them off mid climb due to my hands being drenched in sweat. Any...
