Sounds like you might need a little piece of gear called the Anchor Bridge.

Rich H. can help you with that.

Can you get us a photo of what you're doing? I have a feeling what you've described is what most of the people here are doing...but I am not perfectly clear based on what I've read.

Do you have a small sling you could use to try something out? Maybe a 12" or 24" webbing sling, or another loop prusik, or something like that?

Oh, yeah...if your problem is what I think it is, then yes, you should surely talk to Rich about his Anchor Bridge setup.

love

Poet,

Help me out...I can't see the advantage of using a split tail in that configuration. Give me the lowdown.

Hi Tom,


the advantage is for going up only, really - it allows you to hip-thrust with a distel/michoacan/schwabisch style hitch by putting the hitch further up the rope. usually once i get to the destination i re-tie the regular way to work. i used it today actually - i had to take off a bunch of stubs on a scots pine - since i was basically just going up right next to the tree and cutting them off as i went up it was a nice way to go. since i didn't need to do any other pruning on the tree i didn't reset the system - i just came down.

hope this helps -

peace,

mk
