Srt for heavier climbers

[Dan Cobb]

Adjusted the bollard and is definitely better, enjoyed using it again. Appears that as the coating came off the plate the bared metal increased the friction significantly.

That was my experience as well. I was back in a tree over the weekend and with the bollard opened up a tad, the force required to release the bird was back in what I consider a normal range.

I'm 325 before I put my boots on. Tried all sorts of settings, baby bump, reversing side plates (bingham reccomended that one as they're slightly different lengths to the lower bollard position), bird flap from 4srt, nothing made the runner pleasant to break... BUT the zigzag chicanne combo is smooth as butter on any rope I've ever tried it on... only caveat is it wears pretty dang fast, so long decents I'll use a munter under it to take some of the friction
The hitch hiker 2 and mumfords new hitch hiker with the variable friction are also nice

By any chance, were you in northern California in 1967?

When I saw the title here I thought maybe this was some sort of support group

Well bigger climbers need a lot of support in the tree. So you are not mistaken....

Single line with a canopy anchor FTW lol.
