    System vs Technique

    Stan, this is a mix up response to 2 different post and points I made. The second, about certain devices being able to perform both mrt and srt is to highlight the ambiguity of the srs/mrs classification. Say you are climbing around on a stationary line with you unicender and call this srs in...

    Does anyone use HomeAdvisor?

    It seems to have gotten a little better but for awhile HA and similar services ate up a lot of the top spots in local search results for "tree service" etc. Local business is supposed to get preference but these guys keep getting on the first page. HA, thumbtack, Angies list, etc. With silly...

    Does anyone use HomeAdvisor?

    Overall it was a bad experience for me but I am still glad it was there when I very first started out, got some decent jobs and clients. Probably better ways to spend your money though even google adwords has got to be better. Each market is different though ymmv.

    System vs Technique

    The point was to show a few examples of how these two words are used in other parts of our lives, not to compare tree climbing to cooking.

    Now I'm curious, what 1500 do you have on your saddle? You can post a pic, it won't be used if you don't want it to.

    acronyms

    I wonder if any who posted in this thread have changed their approach to or opinion on this topic, @oceans I know you've been doing training for quite awhile, what terms do you use to describe the systems and techniques in your training sessions?

    System vs Technique

    To me it is not an argument at all. I am just confused by the new trend to mention that we are using a system, of course we are. You could use your srs to climb mrt but you can't use your mrs to implement srt... to me it is largely irrelevant the system you are using and more important is the...

    System vs Technique

    Indeed, you must use a "Stationary Rope System" in order to utilize the technique of stationary rope climbing aka SRT. What I don't understand is the exchange of one term for the other, to me they a distinctly and literally separate. The presence of a climbing system of some sort is a given and...

    System vs Technique

    I fully agree with the switch from srt as in "single rope technique" to srt as in "stationary rope technique" seems completely logical to me.

    System vs Technique

    Add together your controller, receiver, amp and loudspeakers= sound system. manifold, cat converter, muffler, pipes, etc= exhaust system. multiscender, foot ascender, saddle, rope, etc= climbing system. (Example) in cooking- Searing – a technique used in grilling, baking, braising...

    Why would anyone climb srt without a mid-line attachable device? Unless you are working a single stemmed tree removal I don't see why you would limit yourself like that.
