I know of several NATS trainers who only use srt wp.

Well that is good to hear and great news but individuals using SRT-WP and company/organization endorsement are not always the same thing as noted by the Nick/Davey comments.

So these trainers you mentioned above are specifically teaching and promoting SRT-work positioning?

I know Odis, Phil, and Matt are definitly teaching and promoting SRT-wp with no objection from the training companies they work for. As far as I know. As for an official stance I haven't heard anything negative from either of those organizations. As for Davey, I wouldn't worry about them as they are trying to wrap their heads around use of slack tending micro pulleys.

Tony, sorry for derailing your thread. I'm still not able to access the 5 steps. I am curious to see them at some point.

Years ago, maybe three. We asked for feed back from the climbers after our TCC. The five tips from climbers to organisers were as follows:

1. Good trees. Sounds stupid, but when a TCC is run in conjunction with a conference the choice of trees tends not to make the top of the list sometimes. Two of our last three years have had pretty scabby trees.

2. Cool shirts. No one likes a dull shirt apparently.

3. Cool prizes.

4. No unexplained waiting around (or give us something to do while we wait around).

5. Accurate results (we had had some issues the year before).

We asked for feed back again last year, and received similar responses - except, as you can imagine, there were a host of unanswerable questions about SRT.

Those are some good points, although I do think that climber intensive events like the work climb should NOT be the most awesome tree in the park. Having 50 adrenaline pumped climbers smashing through the canopy of the most important tree in the city is a bad idea. I feel it is always so tempting but it should be avoided in my opinion. This can be especially bad if an event is held in the same place consecutive years.
