    Tip on a spar

    I would have quick links on the chain to pull through. I'll give it more thought before going ahead and work on getting a new rope better suited to Srt. What weight throw line do most use to pull rope Srt and to retrieve a bowline if isolated limb without the tail returning to ground for...

    Tip on a spar

    I'm familiar with what describe from having studied the Rope Book Angular Vector Forces under the Information tab. https://www.ropebook.com/information/angular-vector-forces/ I wouldn't be close to 120. I do like the 3 wrap version from your illustration though. Thanks

    Tip on a spar

    Sorry Evo, I'm using a phone to visit here so I can't easily see the string of replies or from whom they have come. Your input to my thread has been excellent, helpful and is appreciated. I didn't connect your above reply about "needless effort" with your others. It is needless effort I'm...

    Tip on a spar

    I didn't see your post before thinking I may go with chain. An eye lag would harm the tree and, make me a little squirrelly.

    Tip on a spar

    Yes, I know the rodent risk. I may end up using chain in my originally proposed configuration. Be costly but super convenient for trying things out and quite safe.

    Tip on a spar

    The video is spot with what I believe several others here have suggested. I don't think I was clear in the original thread that I'm at least as interested in using this semi permanent tip for Srt as Ddrt. I saved your links and look very forward to looking at hours of video to add to the many...

    Tip on a spar

    Not sure you read the whole thread. I'm looking to leave this in place for a while and use it for trying different techniques. A number of the replies have mentioned the floating tip for Ddrt. I will actually be trying more Srt. If it's not a safety issue , I'll probably try what I had in the...

    That, and, rescuing a cat! Thanks for the video. Every little bit helps.

    Srt descent issue Michoacan

    Nice. Don't have double bridge like Kevin's video do you?

    Tip on a spar

    I'm gonna need more rope! Those adjustable rings are nice. Since the anchor rope would be a single rope termination, presumably a Yosemite bowline, what would you use for friction reduction? Hang a friction saver through it before pulling it over?

    Srt descent issue Michoacan

    Thanks. I did watch the whole video. Running the lanyard off your bridge I gather?

    Tip on a spar

    How much rope would be needed if the tree is 2' diameter, throw line limb 50', and floating tip at 30', Ddrt?

    Srt descent issue Michoacan

    Moss - one last question about progessively tightening hitch on SR. Given a straight line non-stop slow descent by the same climber, would you expect a descent off 100' to result in a more bound hitch than a descent of 40' upon reaching ground? Or is it progressive stops on the hitch which cause...

    Tip on a spar

    Squirrels- that's one of the reasons! I want to able to get a good look at it from the ground each time, which I think I can do at 30 with no limb blocking my view.

    Tip on a spar

    Never seen one 10' and this will be left in place a while.

    Tip on a spar

    One use is a practice setup. I have a tall pine around 100' with no limbs for 50+. I think I can slingshot a line up there. I would put this around 30' and leave it with throw line in place to try out assorted climbing equipment and ideas, and not have to haul as much rope each time.

    Tip on a spar

    Good question about "separate". I'd be leaving this in place with a throw line through it for on and off use and am concerned the setup would spread or wander down between uses. I could use a bungee to keep them in place but trying to keep it simple.

    Tip on a spar

    Would you be ok with climbing a TIP, rigged on a spar, this way? Crosses on the back side of course. Would it be dependent on bark texture and tree diameter?

    Srt descent issue Michoacan

    I understand what you mean now, when the time variable for weight is introduced. Thanks...and the Rope Walker wins again. I'd like to see a photo as well. Mine's just a continuous loop where I do the wrists twist "guess-which-pieces-to-grab and pull over your head" routine. I've got webbing and...

    Srt descent issue Michoacan

    I can lengthen them a bit, thanks. Yes, I was on just the hitch, and while it wasn't binding, I wasn't putting on the brakes abruptly, just a couple 15' ascents to try out the "HC mimicus". I can imagine how nice the RW must be. I do not understand your "weight doesn't matter" point. If I...
