Riding the pick

I was under the impression that the whole point of tying into the boom tip was to stay off the load line completely...

actually its quite easy for climber. a short choker (6' or so)is shackled to the dead end lug on boom tip. the climber is hoisted by his lanyard to boom tip. climber attaches his climb line to shackle on end of choker and transfers his TIP to boom tip. he then rappels to cut area. operator lowers ball so climber can tie off piece being cut. operator takes up slack. climber makes cut and either lowers himself to ground or crane lowers piece and climber stays stationary.

If you are going to do it this way you should be tied into the load line with a climbing system as well as a second tip, not just a lanyard.
 
I like to secure myself directly to the load and then proceed to cut a piece that will flip over,it's such a rush!













Do not take me seriously
do not attempt ever,death will occur.

i guess you can only have one attachment point off of a knuckle boom with no load line. be boom tip or hook only.

I have 2 attachment points on the kboom. A short adjustable single line lanyard attached above the hook and my climbing system. I have configured it many ways but it isn't a problem.
