Give the Ghost Redirect a try. Pretty much the same thing except you pull on the splice end (after having locked it with a slip) and it sends the system up, until it has passed the branch union; follow by pulling the leg of rope that you are rerouting to.
Nope, it can be done as you questioned, however pay attention to the carabiner orientation as you climb. It may shift around as you slack tend and if one is not vigilant, the potential for incorrect orientation is great.
I’m new to the open rope system I know and seen how to get the friction saver up in the truck and get my climbing road up and what not but what’s the best way to retrieve the friction saver after your done climbing
Retrieval is fairly simple. Use the appropriate retrieval cone, ball, or XSRE carabiner and the friction saver comes down to the ground. However, if you would like to soft retrieve the friction saver, there are two simple methods. The first one includes draping throw line on a branch union above the friction saver and tied to it. The second involves using the bitter end of the rope and a carabiner, it is a bit to explain but here is a link to the video that will demonstrate just that ➡️ ruclips.net/video/MokveyFAjQM/видео.htmlsi=yfEfLGS4nlI6hLJX
It's recommended to always run moving rope through a friction saver, however there are many who run moving rope without the friction saver. Depending on the rope construction, will dictate how the rope will react and last.
Looks very similar to the knut. I could not find a single reference to the catalyone hitch anywhere online and found a single youtube video on the catalyone hitch which is probably where he learned it. I would not trust my life to this hitch unless it has a different name with a trusted history.
Just got my system set up and it’s struggling to bite no matter what I do and I’m not sure if it’s my rope or hitch my rope is a COUSIN ATRAX 11.6mm any advice?

love it Abdon! Keep up the great work! Stay safe!
THANKS FOR THIS, AND ALL OF YOUR OTHER VERY GOOD DEMO VIDEOS!!! THAT'S A NICE WALNUT TREE!!!...GREAT ADVICE!!!
Thanks for watching!
So much funny & so much excellent information @ the same time ❤! Open MRT is my next challenge to master-point
Gave me great ideas bro.i ll try it my field.
From india.
ปัจจุบันฉันมักจะใช้วิธีนี้มากกว่า วิ่งด้วยเชือกเส้นเดียวสะอีก และ เทคนิคของพวกคุณก็ดีเสมอสามารถปรับใช้ได้กับงานฉันที่บ้าน โปรดทำมันต่อไป ติดตามทุกวิดีโอ 🎉

Thanks for the tips. 😊
Thank you for watching!
Another great vid, but It really sucks when you pony redirect and your gear gets caught on something when pulling it through.

Dude I was just thinking that! Better have a spare climbing system ready to be sent up
@@laneherrlinger7478 No doubt, I carry a short and long lanyard on me in case, usually about 20 ft or so.
is it a good idea to attach termination end straight to your saddle instead attaching it to the pulley?
Nope, it can be done as you questioned, however pay attention to the carabiner orientation as you climb. It may shift around as you slack tend and if one is not vigilant, the potential for incorrect orientation is great.
@@BartlettArboristSupply great stuff thanks for the info.
Good video what saddle are you climbing on
Thanks, It's the TreeMOTION Evo.
What diameter prusik cord would ya’ll recommend for arbor-flex 1/2” rope?

Are you setting the line with a friction saver or does it move easily enough over the limb on a long climb?
Preferably, Abdon likes to climb moving rope off of a pulley based friction saver.
Is the rope just running over a branch at the top, does it wear down on the rope?
The rope was set through the Petzl's Naja friction saver.
@@BartlettArboristSupply can you do it with out the friction saver or will it ruin the rope?
It's recommended to always run moving rope through a friction saver, however there are many who run moving rope without the friction saver. Depending on the rope construction, will dictate how the rope will react and last.
@@BartlettArboristSupply thank you!
Sorry but which knot are you using ? Catalone ? Didn't know this one !
Yes, that's the one.
@@BartlettArboristSupplywhere’s the tutorial for the knot? I can’t find other ones on it
Isn’t that the Knut hitch or a variation ? It almost looked exactly like the Knut hitch to me I’m trying to understand
It's not a variation of the Knut. It is the Catalyone Hitch
Looks very similar to the knut. I could not find a single reference to the catalyone hitch anywhere online and found a single youtube video on the catalyone hitch which is probably where he learned it. I would not trust my life to this hitch unless it has a different name with a trusted history.
I guess zigzag is simply a mechanical version of the open system you're describing?
Yes, you are correct.
I thought I was the only one who said Willy nilly. Awesome
😎🤙
Hell yeah this helps ..thanks guys
Happy to help!
so helpful, thx :D
Glad to hear that!
What length hitch do you use struggling to find the right size?
Abdon runs a 30" prussic but there are other factors to consider when deciding what length to run; diameter of rope and hitch that will be tied.
Just got my system set up and it’s struggling to bite no matter what I do and I’m not sure if it’s my rope or hitch my rope is a COUSIN ATRAX 11.6mm any advice?
What hitch cord and hitch configuration are you tying?
I got the tuefelberger 8mm hitch 75cm and I’ve tried the vt and some other hitches but still no luck
Maybe adding an additional wrap to the hitch being used or switching up to another prussic🤷♂️
What is the wooden friction knot cap called and how can I get it?
It is called a Hitch Breaker.
@@BartlettArboristSupply What is the cap used for/what does it do? Saw it appear out of nowhere and don't know what it's used for and why it's there😂
Would be better if you add another anchor ring to you hardness bridge
Adding another one for increased bend radius or...?
SRT all day babby
Good 😅
Not sure why you are calling it “open”?
Because you can open (disconnect) a carabiner at the splice or the carabiner to the harness.
@@BartlettArboristSupply got it, thank you.
No u arent we are supposed to be on a beach
tired of such system, energy wasted/ lost when climbing under hot sun... ...😅
To each their own; when used efficiently an MRS system can be easier on the body. The ascent is definitely made easier on SRS.
Unless you have your groundsman pull down on the slack while you walk up then it’s cake 😂
Ah, Touché!
Man that's just an MRS done with 3 brain cells instead of 2.
why is that. im new to climbing
