A little Hooking, a little Akimbo-ing

Yeah, fun climb. I was testing an "exploding" canopy anchor with a release cord to the ground. The idea was to be able to climb a one-way trip all over a high tree then Hook traverse over to a second tree all on a 150' line with natural redirects. All that happened except the exploding knot did not release on cue ;-) Back to the drawing board. Good news is I got to test out an Akimbo, it did not disappoint.

Great footage. I'd like to hear more about this exploding knot idea when it's ready for prime time.

I've been using it for a good number of years as a remotely releasable basal anchor, I'm trying to adapt it for use as a canopy anchor, so I can go farther with less rope on woods climbs. I'll post it up if I can perfect it.
