SPRAT

Is anyone here SPRAT or IRATA certified? If yes, do you incorporate secondary lifelines into your system ? (ASAP etc )

I have 2 bridges on my harness and tried rope walking with an ASAP on my second bridge with a second line. It didn't tend like I thought it would ....

I'm SPRAT Certified. I have found that for tree work positioning, two separate lines, and two separate climbing devices proves to work the best for me. Most rope access industries stay very static and very vertical on the two lines whereas we move up, down, and laterally. Hope this helps!!

Thanks. Are you still using an arb saddle?

Yes! I’m using a treemotion. Using double bridges definitely helps and gives you more options for work positioning.

Thanks. Thats the exact configuration I'm using. I wonder if my ASAP isn't tending well because I need to weigh down my backup line.
