    Convince me to go SRT/SRWP

    Lol i used craze for lack of a better term i guess. Really wanted to grt into a good srt wp conversation. The zero friction aspect kinda slipped my mind thats the best point thats been brought up so far

    Convince me to go SRT/SRWP

    I dont find myself using redirects too often, im more likely to double crotch or basically just be running two climbing lines

    Convince me to go SRT/SRWP

    Makes sense, i finally put together a retrievable friction saver. Figured id mostly use it as a false crotch chunking down spars but i should try and incorporate it more as a main canopy anchor. I have a roll biner i can use as a redirect aswell

    Convince me to go SRT/SRWP

    My thoughts as well. I use a foot ascender already, i would probably use a knee ascender aswell to rope walk up then ditch that and the wrench and go DDRT or if its a prune on one of those tall oaks with alot of space between limbs stick with srt and work that way, dont run into too many of...

    Convince me to go SRT/SRWP

    So ive been climbing for a few years now, learned on climbers companion, and my mentor was a fairly newschool climber that climbs DdRT split tail hitch climber.

    "One handing" a chainsaw??!!

    I agree with you and birdyman88. One handing is another tool in our bag of tricks. If you practice doing it and use it when its necessary and safe it should be up to the climber. I feel like its more of a judgement and maybe complacency issue. The worst thing ive seen people do online and a...

    How to be an Excellent Climber---from the Groundie

    Rope out branches that will land in thicket. The time we spend rigging will probably be less than the time it takes for the ground guys to hack it up and muscle that shit out while we hang around and twiddle our thumbs waiting for them to clear the dz

    No doubt. I like the fluidity of ddrt, changing anchor locations and the 2:1 advantage. I suppose some day ill get into srt work positioning like you fancy fellas

    Intentional Barber Chair

    Lol not my first time. I wanted it to peel so it would land with the butt out. Half the limb was over the house. Dont you ever hang limbs like that so they fall vertically? Edit: doesnt work for all types of trees. Maples n white oaks hang very well
