    Help with emergency decent during srt ascent

    Help with emergency decent during srt ascent

    I want to get a wrench and try working srt out one of these days, but for now I'm happy with drt, and the business isn't really booming here in hicktown, so I've been trying to focus on picking up more rigging gear so that I can have enough hardware to do the job, instead of investing in a new...

I like to go rapelling from the bluffs around here and bought an 8 for a simple and light decender to carry through the woods.

    Help with emergency decent during srt ascent

    I'm sure this has already been addressed about a million times, but I'm having no luck finding anything about it. I ascend srt to access the canopy, and switch to drt to work. I have a 1/2" arbormaster and a 7/16" blaze climbing line. I can srt ascend with the 7/16" blaze using a grigri, a...
