- SRT Canopy Anchor Retrievable
Showing off my favorite SRT canopy anchor! this anchor works extremely well and can pull out up to 2 redirects depending on friction situation.
Follow on TT and IG Poplar Mechanic
I climbed using this tie-in for several years- definitely the easiest to retrieve through redirects, and can be installed midline. Converting a basal anchor to a canopy anchor in less than a minute is a big advantage. I haven't heard of any mechanical issues/failures with the setup, but DMM does not approve this use of the pulley. The company I work for asked DMM, and they said "No", so we got kicked off using this. The steel rings are ok, but a Texas Tug is necessary if you are going to take three redirects. The ISC Ultralink might be worth a look if the Quickies seem to exposed.
For anyone trying this for the first time, note that his carabiner gate is away from the trunk.
Glad to see people are still using this technique !
Hey man, thanks for watching! I understand it's not the intended method to use the pinto, and I have heard a similar story. They have not tested it specifically. But the truth is this is a solid setup imo. 2 ears on the pulley plus a pully then a becket below. It would be pretty hard for that to fail under even a dynamic load. Also, they made a spacer if you were really worried. But I understand they have to cover there ass lol. Be safe brotha 🤙
Also, the ultra link freaks me out. They may have fixed it now, but people were demonstrating it coming undone when it first came out
Yep, I agree on how solid it is. Still miss being able to use it. I even wrote to DMM asking if they could make a Pinto out of steel in the hopes of being able to use that... sadly no reply. As for the Ultra Link, I heard about the issue, but have only used the gen2 version after the design was revised. Most of the time I can only get it open with bare fingers- the moving bits are pretty nicely warded now. The pulley isn't fitted in nicely enough to reliably put it on the working side (where you would want it for retrieval) but having something midline attachable again is fresh air. Be well mate.@@PoplarMechanic
Enjoyed the video. I climb mostly MRS unless I know I will have some redirects in the tree...in which case I will climb SRT. I use the end of my climbing rope attached to my bowline tie-in anchor to pull my line down. Of course you have to have enough rope to do that. If I know I will be really high and may need to come down, I will use throw line to pull my line down. Most of the time I will switch to MRS and come down.
Thanks for watching, man! I climb double rope a lot too. Mostly on evergreen trees. The bowline works great as well. Be safe 🤙
Love it ! Pinto pulley!!! Texas tug is great as well!
tks for the info
I run that same set up. Retrieves easier than a quickie in my opinion
Definitely does. Feels safer too!
looks good gotta try this
It's my favorite for sure!
@@PoplarMechanic i agree the quickie freaks me out to lol
@@BadChadddd 😆
Thanks, Derek. I needed to practice tying an alpine butterfly. It had been a while since I needed to tie one. Hope you're doing well.
It's Dustin. And thanks for watching brotha 🤙
Oops, sorry Dustin.
@Billster1955 it's OK I got your name wrong before 😆
excellent🤙 nice to see you brother
stay safe stay healthy
You to brotha. I miss ya!
👌

Nice one bud
Thanks, man!
Nice one man -- I'll try it out this week. Looks simple and clean
It's really nice!
Nice! Can you elaborate on your issues with the quickie?
I will do a video addressing the quickie
@@PoplarMechanic Very happy to hear that!
Don't trust or like trying to open it .struggle to get fingers on pin 📍 even just on the ground not sure why anyone likes quickie
Is there any advantage to this anchor over the Texas tug? Besides having to tie a second alpine butterfly.
Yes. It retrieves easier!
Hey. Great mechanic. Is still retrievable when u had 2-3 redircts? I ll have to try
I've had some trouble with 3. Generally, you're able to pull 2 based on the situation. You will have to give it a try. Thanks for watching!
Would you set this from the geound?
Yes, you definitely can!
Glad to see the algorithm putting you back in my feed! Would you kindly make a short video detailing your method of creating an alpine butterfly? I've been doing the bight, twist, twist, pull through but something just isn't sticking in my mind. It only works 40% of the time. There are apps for this, but just like August with his super-fast bowline, a clear demonstration of your alpine butterfly technique would be most appreciated. Cheers and keep on keepin on!
*edit* you actually show it pretty clearly on the helmet cam. great for a short with voiceover! :)
Hi man! I will definitely do a slow video of the knot. So you can see how it's done. Thanks for watching 🤙
Great video ...not so great the idea to smash hardware on tha ground ...its your life
"smash" ? He gently lowered it lol
Unreal..w
Thanks budddddddy 😊😊.. another great tip...👌👍
Thanks for watching brotha 🤙
Thanks. Brotha 🤙
Personally, this is an expensive way for easy retrieval when you can use a small steal ring ($6) as a floating anchor that allows retrieval through 2-4 redirects even easier.
That's true but there are adava6
@@PoplarMechanic what would you say the advantage to a pinto pulley is that bends the line at a steep angle once the butterfly comes lower than the first redirect?
@@EdenArborist I would say it reduces friction when pulling a redirect
@@EdenArborist I would say it reduces friction
I'd say its midline attachable which speeds things up
Nice job 👍
Thanks!
