    Just started trying a cinch method on a spars for ascent and descent. I just used a Blake’s hitch. The dead pines I really wish I could have slowly belayed down. Wow. Cool video. Thanks, man.

    This is impressive, minimal gear, quick and easy to install and undo and no more jerky jerky descents using one line on the spar, Awesome bro.

    Subbed. This is exactly what I was looking for. Just started climbing my own trees trying to learn on my own. I have 3 trees 130 foot that I need to climb and take down, but have been pondering the thought on decending techniques with an easy removeable system when I start descending about 10 foot to chunk those logs. Good stuff bro.

    I still cinch with a r.bowline. And I usually just buck down to my next cut taking lanyard and lifeline with me and i'll recinch bowline. I'm in FL we don't have super tall trees. I can see it's use for taller spar work. As of lately I've been using my mrs system over the srs. Adjustable friction saver are your friend lol. I like the safety! 🤙

    Good video. A barrel stopper knot on the end, and pull a loop through the ring will sit nicer on the tree. The fig 8 is usefull if your doing DRT and swapping between the two, the ring can be left on there.

    That's slick. I try to do the right thing and utilize the notch quickie (as opposed to side loading biner) but I think this is just right. With my srt setup, I can simply drop the rope wrench and keep the hitch climber/prusik and not have so much hanging on my bridge with a more compact setup. Thanks for the share!

      @@therealzigzagman I understand but think of emergency situations. You are able to descend while you are belaying yourself but what happens if you only have one working hand or go into a panic mode? Maybe you cramp up or get attacked by bees/hornets or gaff out and break some fingers trying to catch yourself etc etc. Your climbing system won't get you to the ground without additional friction with the hitch. I use the Hitch Hiker 2. Its compact like a regular hitch climber rig but also works on a single line. Something to think about. We always should have a way to the ground that functions on its own. Your flip line is the rope that should have your weight and keep you close to the spar anyways. Main line is there to get to the ground at this point. In any case, i like the crab jam. its quick and effective. thanks for sharing.

    if you got a spliced end on the rope can you you just clip it straight to the spilce or should you do a knot

    • @therealzigzagman
      @therealzigzagman  Год назад +1

      Yes, you can clip straight to the rope. The only reason I’d prefer a knot over that, is because it keeps the ring on the rope. With only a Splice, the ring can slide off when pulling and repositioning your anchor
