fantastic advice and thank you! ach. i've already whiplocked the lot of the cord but i think some of the larger ones could stand to have that treatment.

ah, i'm glad you checked in. i was just thinking about replying to your question.. i did a climb with the HH2 and BRW last week in spurs in the rain and the beeline/brw worked flawlessly it was a very dead whitepine removal with the TIP in a taller adjacent pine. i'm going to say that the...

UpDate! I've been able to put the HH2 to good use on several jobs. one of which wouldn't have been possible with out it. i've just got a selection of friction cord to try out. and i'm going to whip the ends of all of them. they are.... Ocean Polyester 10mm Armor-Prus 8mm EpiCord 9.3mm Arbpro...

right on. thanks again for all the advice. it's making the transition much easier. CurSedVoyce i'm going to have to memorize your video off to work!

yep. crazy tall poles where you are sir. how high did you have to shoot to get that line set? big shot up 120' ? lots of low widely spread buggers here. some taller spreaders as well.

agreed. it's been a great weekend of learning and being sick as hell. can't wait to get paid to climb srt. have to say tho' 120' of rope was getting short after all the redirects. might be time for a 150'

gotta say. on a big job there's probably a porty on the stem that could be used for lowering.

just got out of another quick one. i did a basal with the afore mentioned clove/halfhitches and that was nice. i didn't really unload the line that much so it probably wasn't a great comparison to the bowline i was using before for a basal anchor. i really like what you said about the AB Bermy...

yep. i think the ability to be lowered is interesting and worth looking into but.... well the kit can pile up.

so i finally succeeded with a retrievable choked canopy anchor. both ends on the ground with a AB and pinto rig in the isolated crotch. i ascended to the TIP and pulled up the standing end so it just touched the ground then re-tied my AB and got some more rope on the working end as i planned on...

getting some good stuff here. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0czO8M49hcE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

cool it's been weird figuring out how much rope will be needed for redirects. my instinct is to take waay too much for the climb side tho i think the beauty is having a light line to carry around. what do you use for a base tie?

thanks again Raj. That makes sense but always with two sides of rope on the ground correct.? you'll ascend on a basal then choke off in the canopy once you're up there? that gets to the basal and chocked that you've mentioned for sketchy trees? i'll have to try it out tomorrow. guess the...

ok The retrievable choked canopy anchor with throwline to pull and pinto wasn't a disaster but it wasn't the answer. that much is now painfully clear. advancing the TIP wasn't happening. too much muckymuck i'm think that the downhill weight of the line was too much. the pulley no doubt...

and me

but the butterfly/biner can also get unweighted and move about as well? last night i disassembled my pinto rig loopie to free up the pulley for a chocked retrievable canopy anchor. my plan is to isolate a TIP and keep a throwline running downstream to retrieve. <iframe width="640"...

i did two short practice climbs today with the SAKA and a neck tether that i've cobbled together. gear is as follows. TreeMotion with standard length bridge and rock exotica medium swivel attached to steel carabiner on hh2 with bee line (now whipped and not milking at all) CMI foot ascender and...

i chose the HH2 because it seemed like the most compact device that still used a hitch cord. do you have a foot ascender?

i haven't tried it on brw yet but i will. i think i'm going to miss the ruggedness of 16 but time will tell.

that is one long climb. you made it look easy sir i'll get that saka tomorrow or friday and really give the srt a solid run. i may even time the ascent.. as it
