reg coates climbing and rigging is next level

[snunyabizness]

the nerdy climber stuff starts around 12 and it gets into "rewind, pause, rewind, scratch head, rewind" territory shortly after.

I learned so much from this man. Somehow he still comes up with new spins I just don't see in my zip code.

Also some peeks at his mulitcender device which seems to click like a fishing reel. I'm going to buy one.

expert professional, pretty cool to watch and learn from.

Good stuff as usual.
What’s this set up about? I see the tagline, but there’s a pulley and prussik type arrangement.

Im guessing its an adjustable tie off allowing the groundie to use the tail as tagline.

Ok….I think I get it.





I don’t got it.

Ok, now I think I got it, the crab for attaching the rope to the log strap is not at the end, but attached to a friction hitch which can be moved up and down the bull rope to provide a tail for use as a tag line.

Clever, I guess you’re messing with load limits but on light rigging like that it’s not an issue.
I don’t know what the pulley is doing though.

I dont either, seems overkill. ive seen him use the technique in other videos and the tagline goes limp after cutting so i assume thats it

My guess is the pulley makes for slightly easier adjustment of the hitch up and down the rope.

At 19:57 he uses another pulley apparently as a swing limiter plus as rope retrieval aid.

Haha we are bothering to analyze a 2 y o tree vid so I guess that is proof positive that Reggie is next level.

Trying not to blow too much smoke but he brings to mind a Zen master at work.

Indeed that was one gnarsty azz tree job.

Hope he got paid well.

The only part that confuses me still is where he puts his genitals when he's climbing. I assume he has devised a method for detaching them, because I don't see how he would have much room to work otherwise.

Seeing that cool looking Madrone had me feeling a yearning for the real PNW.

Does anyone know what this technique is called? It's like a one legged span rig saving that extra 1/3 of rope length. Next chance I get, that's what I'm going to use it for.
