Thanks, Brock. I always found great reward in helping the young climbers, and plenty of old ones too, find that sweet spot that would convince them that this strange new system was worth learning about and using. Fine times, and the best part of my USFS career without a doubt.

That's fair.

I have another thought to put in play here, regarding Sterling HTP as a suitable SRT line for "mechanicals"...I would be greatly surprised that given some trial with the hitch component, that it would not be possible to use my first gen HitchHiker (from Paul's genius mind) on 10mm HTP. Never...

OK, now we need to dissect what is a mechanical. I know that I'm among the older crowd here. When I started climbing, SRT in tree work was a foreign language. Today we are blessed with what climbers of my generation consider the "new" hybrid work positioning SRT devices. More than a few of...

We'll look forward to your report, Brock. I hope you and yours are all fairing well...or as well as can be expected anyway, these days.
