    There seems to be a fine line, though, between too much slack and not enough. I think I tend to tie with around 2 inches (5cm) of slack between the bottom wrap and the top of the HH. When loaded this seems to stretch out a little bit, so I do sometimes find myself retying as stig mentioned...

    It is certainly on my radar, but given that I've spent 1400 bucks in the last two weeks renting a chipper I think there might be a different large purchase coming down the pike first.

    I'm glad to have access to all you SRT junkies, because I've got me a hitch hiker now! I've only done two climbs with it, and one I ended up switching back to Ddrt with it as it was a spruce cable install and I just ALT'd up that mofo. I did a horsechestnut removal with a choked TIP, but haven't...
