The "Universal Climbing System" can be used for non-mechanical rope climbing and tree climbing for various methods including : JRB Stationary Doubled Rope Technique (DSRT), MRS/DRT/DdRT, SRT/SRS, and JRB Hitch Climbing. Novel friction Hitches provide the moving points of attachment on the rope. Related videos:

Have evolved into a 7 hitch universal- 2 , 5-2-3 in the middle for DSRT, two compact 5-2-3 and two soft bridge 5-2-3 with web foot loops, those four for hitch SRT. And of course always pack the garda and a pole. Often hitch climb and if I like the tree and have a good crutch will leave a preset cord, DSRT next visit. And I agree go with the longer pole, comes in handy for a number of uses, such as retrieving a jammed hitch. Or switch my hook for a pruning blade and cut out a branch or two for a shooting hole!!

The more I try things myself and do my research, there more I am able to appreciate the thought that went into the intricacies of this climbing system. Thank you and your community for sharing this with everyone!

@jrbtc Год назад

I appreciate that. I posted a sketch of this system in my Facebook group probably 7 or 8 months ago. I just wasn't happy with one detail. The two hitches used for the doubled rope side were JRB Ascender Hitches, and are more difficult to remove and replace in the unlikely scenarios: 1) we couldn't fit the friction hitch though a tree crotch. This has never happened to me but i agree it's possible... 2) we were doing all hitch climbing and wanted to remove them to avoid them flopping around and banging on the pole when setting. Those 2 scenarios were my motivation to develop the Agile Hitch. In the process, I tested a lot of combinations you will never see. And I also had a couple of ideas still in testing. One is the bridge. Another is gonna be a surprise if I have success in testing... and get time to do so. Cheers and thanks.

Nice demo, I have been carefully studying your systems for a couple weeks and it's all slowly beginning to sink in. Still got a bunch of vids to go! Thanks, I really am enjoying these. Mike.

@jrbtc 4 месяца назад

Sorry but i never saw your message until now for some reason. Glad I am helping you. This season, i hope to leverage the versatility of the Longhorn Agile and allow us to transform the system using less hitches

@HobbiesHobo 4 месяца назад

I've been following along this season and going back to watch early stuff. It's great! I have been trying to apply some of the stuff I've learned to general bushcrafting, hunting, woodsmanship related hobbies! I'm having fun following. 🙂Mike.@@jrbtc

I Like having Multiple Options in One Setup!!! Thanks John for putting all this together..

@kennethrogers1129 Год назад

very nice John, I’ve been working on this also, but I like using the garda for every climb hitch srt or double jrb, eliminating two of the hitches you have with foot loops, and all hitches 5-2-3 compact non jamming with rappel ring;three left side and one right sided, one left and one right tied towards the middle on opposite sides of the rope for the jrb double rope climb, and one tied left side toward each end of the rope for hitch srt climb using a pole. Been debating with myself about the boat clip for the jrb double rope climb, did add the loop on one end, thinking I will go ahead and tie another set of prusiks and do away with the boat clips, have been using 8 mm resc tech, but probably will go to a thicker rope. Great development, thanks , been having a lot of fun and learning during the off season getting ready for hunting season. Retying all my hitches and adding in rappel rings, as you mentioned sometimes it’s confusing which way to clip in to the loops .

@alexstarr1589 Год назад

This is great! I just started working with rope climbing during this off season, hoping to incorporate it into my hunting next year since I'm tired of carrying sticks. Plus being attached by only a lineman belt always sketched me out a bit. This looks like the perfect "do everything" system and your explanations of when to use which components of the system was super helpful! You mention tree crotch selection in the SRT portion of the video, this is one thing I've been curious about but have had trouble finding good information on. Since the crotch is often a single point of failure with no redundancy, I'm surprised it's so hard to find good info on selecting a good crotch. I think that would be a great idea for a video for you to tackle. If you don't have enough requests already :D

@jrbtc Год назад

Fantastic suggestion... I have been thinking about this. As a starting point, tree climbers are advised to be able to identify the type of tree they are climbing on, whether it has leaves or not. But I will work on this soon.

@alexstarr1589 Год назад

@@jrbtc Yeah I suspect it could be quite a rabbit hole because so many factors probably go into it. Obviously it's not feasible for you to go in detail on every tree species and all that, but at least knowing some general guidelines or red flags to look out for would be great! Thanks for all your awesome, well-thought-out content!

@kennethrogers1129 16 дней назад

Well, after more experience, I am now going with 2 seperate ropes - a 50 ft rope with a 4 hitch system ( two compact 5-2-3’s with rings and two 5-2-3 soft bridge hitches with single web foot loops) for SRT Hitch climbing, and a 75 ft rope 3 hitch system ( two 5-2-3’s bridge mode, and the Garda) for DSRT after I have explored an area and left a preset. I do a lot of exploring in season with the hitch climb and keep moving until I find an area I really like and only carry one rope at a time, mostly hitch climbing.

@412OutdoorGuy 11 месяцев назад

Thanks John for the videos. I am waiting for my order to come in from RnA so I can start building my system. I just got my throw bag so I will start practicing with that. I plan to try hitch climbing and DSRT. I have a tree on game lands near me that is too big for my steps so I am hoping to learn the throw bag well enough to hunt from it. It's a perfect example of the best spot having a tree that can't be climbed in the traditional methods. I also really appreciate your focus on safety.

@jrbtc 11 месяцев назад

I appreciate the comments. Regarding the throwball, that's absolutely a good strategy. Regarding the climbing, I always use DSRT unless I have a good reason not to. SRT is 2nd choice and situations that warrant it were just rolled into a dedicated video. Hitch climbing is only used in situations where I can't use a throwball. It's a more technical climb which requires adequate preparation and practice. The friction hitches need to be advanced and broken when the rope is pressed very close to the tree. The tree might have knobs and non uniformities which make that more challenging. Just like a tether, avoid climbing to the last possible inch and smashing your friction hitch up against the hitch onto the trunk itself... because getting your fingers into a position to break that can be difficult. If it did happen, just set another hitch on the trunk with the opposite side of the rope, transfer to it, and don't make the same mistake. AIso, although I CAN hitch climb without a pole, i can't recommend it. A pole really makes it easier... and faster... less moves.

Hello dear friend, what a pity these videos are not available in Spanish, the Google translation is deficient and I also live in Argentina, good materials are not available and what is obtained is very expensive but I still love learning with your videos, a hug giant and thank you for what I have learned from you has allowed me to improve myself in my work 😎🤘🤘🤘

@oddjob66 10 месяцев назад

John, thanks for your ingenuity in developing systems. I’m wondering the rationale of two pairs of 523 compact non-jamming w/ ring + 523 compact w/ foot loop in each direction pre-tied on the rope for the hitch climbing end. I’m struggling to visualize the need.

@jrbtc 10 месяцев назад

Did you watch the end of the video? The last climb was a Hitch climb, where I set one end using a pole, climb to it, and then set the other side and transfer onto it. I can alternate sides using the two pairs of JRB Ascender Hitches.

@oddjob66 10 месяцев назад

I did watch the entire video. Thanks for the clarification, I guess I didn’t understand the transition between hitches was the pair of 523s w/rings. Your video uploaded yesterday made the system a bit clearer. Thank you.

@user-lh2qk7db9p 11 месяцев назад

John your videos and teachings on climbing has inspired many people, including myself. I am in the process of changing my climbing to JRB systems. Thank you for the sharing. As far as knots go you are a Genius, and a very good teacher. As a question I would like to know what is the saddle you recommend.?

@jrbtc 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for your comments and support. As for a saddle recommendation, my saddle is old and no longer available and I have not sat in any newer models recently. But keep an eye on my website and i hope to have a recommendation soon.

@craiglahr8843 8 месяцев назад

Hey John, which video should I watch regarding how to tie the foot loop onto the rapel ring? Great work!

@jrbtc 8 месяцев назад

I used the compact Non jamming JRB Ascender on all 4 hitches. You could use version 3 as well... i just prefer this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ta1Cy9XzQHc.htmlsi=SxHNXk_nmEWFj79J

@scottk7244 Год назад

Very good video, thank you John! Question- what would be your pick of rope for this system? I’ve been using Sampson predator, but it is pretty bulky.

@jrbtc Год назад

When I know i am going to be using JRB doubled rope method, I prefer an 8mm rope on a system with only 2 hitches. Oplux, RescTech and even dynamic ropes work great. For a universal system where we are going to be hitch climbing, I prefer greater surface area of a 3/8in or 9.5mm rope. This video is a Maxim Canyon Elite which is marketed as 9mm but by my caliper is almost 10. It's great rope. I am also awaiting a new rope from RockNArbor and when I get it, I will build and test that system in a video. My choice of a rope may change over time, and that is the kind of detail I will keep on my shopping list recommendations on my website. jrbtreeclimbing.com/

@kennethrogers1129 Год назад

@@jrbtc I have to agree, my SRT climbs on 8mm with 6mm hitch, I have had some slippage with the 5-2-3 on ascent, adding the agile as a backup really does a good job, may very well get a thicker rope per your advice and experience, thanks John

@kmoses923 10 месяцев назад

On the hitch climbing side, why use a JRB Ascender with a foot loop instead of hooking in with a Garda foot loop like the JRBDSRT side?

@jrbtc 10 месяцев назад

Its a great question. And it does work. 1. Our standard Garda is going to be too long... we would need either a shorter Garda or collapse ours into half size as I have shown in the past. Not a deal breaker though. 2. The main reason is because when ya get to the very top of a climb to your 1st hitch, your pelvis is very close to the tree... and we all have different sized beer bellies... Suffice it to say that it can be difficult to get it unattached. 3. Also important: depending on Geometry, somebody might have run their guard up all the way up so that is smacking into the friction hitch. In this position, it could be even more difficult to remove. The Garda can't be run backwards like a friction hitch. 4. In Hitch climbing, currently, we don't have a backup for our primary friction hitch. If it started to slide uncontrollably at the top of a climb, we would be standing on our foot Loop and wondering what to do. This is a handy time to have a friction hitch in the form of our foot loop. We could clip our other bridge into it and recover.

@kmoses923 10 месяцев назад

@@jrbtc Great explanation, this is exactly what I was looking for in understanding the difference, thanks for taking the time to lay it out for me.

@MiloBottomsOutdoors 11 месяцев назад

Jrb, last year I created both systems on 8mm resc tech. I am pleased but am interested in going to the universal for obvious reason. Is the same rope efficient seeing as I have over 100’?

@jrbtc 11 месяцев назад

I weigh 185lbs. And although I can execute Hitch climbing and SRT on that rope, I feel it's aggressive and prefer 9.5mm. As your rope ages, it becomes more smooth. In wet conditions, its more slick. I wound up with a 623 JRB Ascender on my 8mm Oplux based Universal system after ground testing. Recognize that when Hitch climbing, we have to consider that we don't have a Garda / Best Friend backup. Ultimately, the decision is up to you.

@dougvillalpando5099 4 месяца назад

Is it possible to use this or any of your systems with the JX3 hybrid?

@jrbtc 4 месяца назад

There are climbers doing so. But I have never used one. Pls post in my Facebook group if you are a member. Others will help you with details.

@BriarJumper Год назад

Can you use all the agile hitch with the longhorn for each hitch in this system?

@jrbtc Год назад

The Longhorn under the Agile is a legitimate Ascender. You could use it as you see fit. For the doubled rope side, i like about a foot of space under the hitch. For the hitch climbing, the JRB is slightly more compact and easier to break. And FYI, in the future, we're gonna have another friction hitch which I will likely call the Agile Longhorn! So don't let that confuse anyone who reads this in the future. That's an option as well.

@BriarJumper Год назад

Thank you. I really like the agile its easy to tie. The JRB really puts some hard turns in the accessory cord and seems to have a lot of "memory" the agile seems more gentile to the accessory cord. Your doing great work with all these improvements the the climbing systems!!!!!!

Do you happen to have a separate channel for hunting or do you dabble in self filming hunts at all?

Great question. I have never filmed a hunt and don't have any immediate plans to do so. But i do have a ton of hunting knowledge and am planning on introducing that content in the future.

@Rico11b Год назад

Ninjas just use a plain rope with knots every couple feet or so, and a grappling hook on the end; then they basically run up the tree. You need more training. Watch more Ninja moves and you can learn to do it too. ;)

@kennethrogers1129 Год назад

I’ve been working on that, to no great success I have to admit, and have given up on 2 TC methods, just too much effort in comparison to JRB methods , even after incorporating JRB hitches 2TC is just too risky and inefficient
