The Shultz Effect

Acerxharlowii · Dec 14, 2019

Well I finally purchased the Schultz effect for study this winter. So much to experiment with. I especially enjoy his remote redirects. The “transferalizer” I think will be so much easier using the akimbo and cbdb. Our industry advances so quickly with innovations since these videos were made.
Side note could the transferalizer be set with a pulley above the hitch on main srs line and tied to with tail to be pulled down to you? Let’s say if one wanted to reset that redirect in another area where you finished doing work

Can anybody who owns the collection provide some insight to how useful these videos are in this time of tree work? I've thought about purchasing the collection but since it was created atleast 4 years ago, I'm worried about some methods becoming obsolete or outdated. Technology and safety standards evolve so fast in this industry, it's hard to keep up.

I believe it's way ahead of where a lot of climbers are right now. Especially me. I frequently refer back to it when I have an idea or need a refresher. Its definitely not outdated.

I think of it as a brain exercise. It gets you thinking of what CAN be done, and shows how to do it. Yes, there may be other ways of doing the same thing but it gets your brain wired differently

Awesome, now I'm even more intrigued. I could ask more questions about it before getting it but it sounds really worth it for such a small investment. Thanks!

If you climb much at all and especially if you're climbing srt there is all the info you could ever want or need in there.

That looks interesting, thanks. First I've heard of it.

Merle Nelson · Jan 13, 2022

Looks like a great way to learn from Lawrence in person. I signed up for it.

Thanks again for putting it up Jonny.

Too bad it's about 900 miles away from me, looks like a great class/event. I'd love to hear how it went and some major take-aways @Merle Nelson once it's over.

You’re welcome, Merle, take pics if you make it

I’d be very interested in something like that, closer to home, though I do need to visit the west coast at some point in my life, climbing a tall PNW tree out there is on my bucket list for sure.

If you do make it out this way let me know, happy to take you up a 100-150' doug fir!

He said a tall PNW tree......

Merle Nelson · Jan 13, 2022

Yes, I'll post some pics and report.

Man we got cut clear-cut between 50-100 years ago, not much left over 150 feet! In northern Cali I did climb a 220' redwood, but wound up with a $1,000 fine as a result when the sheriff showed up......

Merle Nelson · Jan 13, 2022

Wow. I've always wondered what the consequences could be.

27RMT0N · Jan 13, 2022

Only if you get caught

This was a great class. Signing up on the website they mentioned having room for 28 people in the bunkhouse so I figured class would be 30 or 50 people and capped at that - no. 150 people!!!
So sign up early if you ever want to bunk there.

That organization was very well set up to handle larger groups. Big indoor meeting area, large tents for eating, great food, demo trees and trunks set up for rigging. Live trees to climb and demonstrate techniques in them.

Lawrence is fantastic at communicating his points on both rigging and climbing. Lots of photos up on screen to visualize his points, crowd interaction, live demonstration.

Most people I talked to or heard mention where they live were from less than a few hours drive away. At least one person flew in from the midwest.

Top notch info, presentation, and support in every way. Totally worth it.
