Hi all.
I'll start off with a little background. I'm a phone guy. I've spent most of my career under 20' off the ground via ladders, gaffs, and a bucket truck. I climbed rock and rappeled when I was in high school. I'm afraid of heights past a certain height, but I enjoy climbing enough to overcome it until I'm not having fun anymore. In other words, I'm not found above 60' very often. I met some great folks when a buddy's cat got treed one winter. They came out and spent five hours dDRt getting the cat out of a 90' red oak. I was hooked after watching them all day in 10°f temps.
Since then I've picked up various gear for dDRt. Now I'd like to give SRT a try. Here's what I've got: I picked up a Spiderjack in a deal for a Bigshot. I put a new cam in it. I've tried it, but it's just a little TOO easy. It moves when I unweight it and I just don't need to move as fast as it will let me. I'd like to either sell it and get some good srt stuff or trade it for some good srt stuff.
What would you guys recommend for an srt set-up? I'm leaning towards the HH2, but I wanted your input before I make up an ad. If it matters, I use an Imori rope.
Thanks in advance!
Zach
