Couple of red oaks

No not quite my first time with spider legs and crane, like number 5 and 6. All since with KTS(they have an excellent instructor). The other company always used continuous loops and usually only one at a time, not good for balance.

What is the size of rope you are using for the spider legs?

We use what ever we have. Mostly 5/8" and 3/4" Tenex. The longest ones are 9/6" Amsteel mostly used for utility work when the slings need to go below the wires. They are 35' in order to keep the ball and cable above the wires. I have also used doulbe braids. I'm looking into some double braids with maybe a dyneema core.
