I'm liking the increased range of options I have now with the HH available to me. Curious...when you guys switch to DdRT do you find it heavy at all and how's the one handed tending compared to the HC? I just have not gotten around to using it doubled, I make a decision on the ground to go HH...

I saw the Haas after I had got my basic and revolver to set up the knee ascender like Dave's. Used my 'home made' system yesterday: right foot pantin, basic with home made footloop for the knee ascender and a bungee cord between the two that I pass through a small maillon on the waist belt of...

Can somebody paste the link to Jamie's foot loop/tether setup? I can't find it...

Keep it coming chaps...more interesting and valuable conversation! I've been out to estimate a couple of jobs, and find myself looking at the access and feasability of the work in a different manner now...one pine in particular I was going to have to climb up bit by bit with my old system, now...

Mate, it's a revelation! It's brilliant to have more options now, no way I could have done that poplar without a huge amount of wasted energy with what I had available before.

SO I did a 90' poplar takedown on Saturday...there is almost no way I could have done it efficiently either fliplining up or Drt. My HH paid for itself on that job! It was interesting, I had spikes on, put my pantin on outside the spike, it worked ok. My self tending chest thingy isn't working...

Ha Nick...I do measured swings...not a bomber yet! Mind you haven't really had the trees to do it in yet...

Had my first work climb with the HH yesterday, a small Euc no more than 30'. I have to say it IS easier to thread through branches and bring the rope along. It took a little while to be really confident to be on one leg of the rope, but it all held just fine. Next time will be better. I have to...

Good information again. I think I've got enough to go on for my next climb, it's raining cats and dogs today so I'll watch all the videos! Never underestimate the value of the information that is shared here at the House...reading all your accounts of trying the WRs and HHs and following your...

Another question, have you all found that you are upping the minimum size of your TIP now that the weight is double instead of just your regular weight? My first go, I got my rope over a branch I normally wouldn't think twice about for Drt, but I did hesitate a bit with the SRT...comments? Don'...

Thanks for the encouragement guys :) I have watched the secret weapon video again...will watch Nick's SRT/Drt switch over again...will have another test climb with a better TIP and try moving around the tree. I take the advice about all the palaver at the bottom of the tree, I have enough kit...

Yeah...its a wierd sensation inside your head after all those years of looking at two ropes...

Thanks all. Very early days, I can already see the potential for SRT in some jobs I have coming up where it will be very difficult to set a friction saver from the ground or isolate a branch for Drt, only problem is the work area is WAY up there! Bit nerve racking for being on one rope all of a...

Answered number 2 myself...went and re-read the base tie SRT thread already here...!

Ok, here we go... 1. Rope I only have my 1/2" XTC fire...it's quite bouncy, what other ropes are you chaps using? I like the feel of the thicker ropes, so 11.7 would probably be the thinnest I'd be happy on. I started using Tachyon in Bermuda this summer and liked it, anyone know how it works...
