    alternating between SRT and DdRT

    I have a HAAS and use it heavily. I don't like wearing it.

    alternating between SRT and DdRT

    the friction is about equal to around the horns on the portawrap. you're not going to be doing any heavy rigging on this device. If you get into some heavy rigging scenarios, you'll want to setup something more robust. So considering the weights you'll be rigging off it, you'll not see any...

    alternating between SRT and DdRT

    this technique for a fully retrievable configuration. MRS line from above left. Run the tail of the MRS down to your destination, then terminate it using the "beasthorn srt redirect". When you later pull on the tail, it will release the knot. Now you are on SRT. Setup your next redirect again...

    alternating between SRT and DdRT

    I tie a midline knot and lock it with a carabiner before pulling up the floating block,. that gives two static lines to climb, one for each foot ascender. Place your device on either leg. Once you reach height, untied the midline knot, pull up the working end, and switch to DdRT

    it is simply a daisy chain

    alternating between SRT and DdRT

    You are not comfortable climbing on a floating block. That's ok. I've done dead hazardous failed removals using floating blocks strung between very tall firs hundreds of feet apart and tightened via grcs. I've installed a floating block on a bucket truck to descend down into tight places. I...

    alternating between SRT and DdRT

    I probably wouldn't knot block on your omniblock either lol. The Spin is slotted though, different design. I'm telling you guys it's a cool gadget.

    why would you say that? the stopper knot even goes to the side pushing the triple action side plate in the closed direction. https://www.petzl.com/US/en/Professional/Pulleys/SPIN-L1D

    alternating between SRT and DdRT

    from my Zillon lanyard. I don't know what brand of rope it is, guessing it was exclusive for Petzl to use in their lanyards. It's quite bulky, maybe 12-13mm 16 strand, nice for the bridge. The Zillon is butter, but it's sketchy for a lanyard IMO. I didn't care for the surprise releases just...

    alternating between SRT and DdRT

    Been regularly climbing on the Petzl Spin ever since seeing Dan Holiday explain it on climbing arborist and it has encouraged some creative adaptations I'd like to share. I equally love climbing SRT and DdRT. I can't decide between them, so use both. I can't be bothered to isolate my TIP so...

    Is it just me, or is SRT strenuous compared to DRT?

    you can expand your options by using a very long lanyard, like 25'+ and with a prusik. gives you an always available mini ddrt system. you can daisy chain it compact unwinding from the middle. you can attach to the hip, lower d, bridge, whatever, mix it up depending on the situation. If you use...

    Chainsaw-hooks that "stay in-place"? Loved Edelrid, HATE my Evo...

    Munter hitch for lowering limbs

    I was unable to find that friction coefficient info for wood/steel/aluminum in either of your mentioned papers. Like Dan says, real world experience with natural crotching contradicts that. Considering that harder/denser materials have lower friction coefficient numbers and surface texture is...

    Tail tricks

    here's an elegant variation of the Draggin Tail but abandoning the bight and using a quick munter hitch in place of the prusik&pulley https://www.instagram.com/tv/CeEjqMcpmwL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

    Tree Austria pro.

    I used the previous gen, orange&black version. great harness, easily adjustable. big leg straps are comfortable. durable. accessory loops are placed conveniently and easy to reach. Only negative issue I had with it was some bruising initially on the front of my pelvis (asis) from the D rings...
