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 ➡️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MokveyFAjQM.htmlsi=yfEfLGS4nlI6hLJX
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.
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.
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?
Hey mate. I am very thankfull for your videos. Love your skillz and your humor. I would like to know, whats that wooden thing between your wrench and the friction hitch. The use is clear. But how do you attache it midrope and where to buy?
Thank you! It's called a Hitch Breaker and you can find them in three different sizes; there is a small and medium non-midline version, and the one you see in the video is the midline version.
@@jayltd.7030 Barebones moving rope system is called "DRT" most of the time... Can be as simple as one single climbing rope tied into all of the configurations necessary to ascend and descend and work the tree. However, that type of caveman DRT is extremely taxing on the body, as well as slow. What he's done here, makes it very much more expedient and easy on the body.
