thats so cool!!!!

also its off topic but wanted to let you know i got to ride a wraptor for my first time. Its sweet i could see my self getting lazy.
 
I forgot to mention that that rope was off of my 2 year old climbing line that I have not climbed on for abour 4 years. During those four years of down time, who knows what it was used for.

the company i work for now does a lot of work at the Augusta Nationals golf course and i had a chance to go there for a week and when i got there come to find out we have a wraptor for the crew that stays there.

I used it twice, the first i went up about 80ft (lowest limb on the pine) and set a cable from the pine down to a hackberry along one of the fairways.

the 2nd time was building clearance on one of the cabins (only had to go up 20ft hence the lazy part lol)

Its a sweet machine and i cant wait to go back b/c t gets used every day there!!

I still cannt quit understand that a large co. owns 1 Wraptor which everybody loves to use and improves their production significantly yet they dont buy more for other crews:? How easy was your 80' ascent? Seems like the management would see this and realise what a valuable tool it is:|:

Yes Im biased......

everybody that gets to use it says the same thing you just did. we have 6 more crews so a couple more would make things a lot nicer.
