So far, in playing with Srt ascent, while the speed and efficiency are nice, the biggest benefit to me is getting the second leg of a Ddrt setup out of my face along with the friction from occasional twist of the two ropes. I definitely see it as the future for ascending.
How do you advance the tip Srt without your climbing rope being detached from your harness short of hauling up your rope to advance the tail or undoing a bowline/butterfly and changing to Ddrt if the tip was isolated? Or pulling enough new rope through your hitch to set a new isolated tip. The...
Problem with the "old" is I'm not able to see the set up due to picture quality, at least not on my phone. I didn't even realize there was a revolver in the mix.
So far I've only fooled with ascent and coming down with Munter backup for practice. I expect I'll change over to Ddrt once aloft if working or moving around a canopy. I have an 8 but get much less twist with the Munter and so far I'm just trying to prepare for things that might go "not as...
I have an 8. I'll have to try what you're describing. I've shied away from anything above my hitch. How would you unload the Munter above the hitch during descent if you had to or wanted to without a limb? Guess I need more pictures.
That video is ancient!
I have a Mac 120 I'm trying to bring back to life. It died years ago when ethanol came on the scene. I got another saw, but would like to dedicate that, with 3/8 drive and automatic oiler, to a Simpson capstan winch.
I soaked and rebuilt the Walbro carb on the 120. In the process I raised the...
