I spent most of my climbing career hauling myself around on a taunt line hitch. Learned the Blake’s shortly before getting a Zigzag. Night and day. And then discovering srt canopy access. Holy crap! Magic. I appreciate!
I prefer Drt still for shorter climbs or ascents near the trunk where I’m not dangling in thin air. Easier for me to make the smaller height adjustments. I’m still learning the ropes of srt. Pardon the pun. I find it incredibly useful for getting into the canopy fast, but am still more...
Thanks. I will definitely give it some more time. I can see already the potential for Srt. I’m using a 12.5 mm line and had to adjust the bollard all the way open to get the birds head to release. Any suggestions for ascending drt with it?
I tried out the RRP today and far prefer my zigzag so far. The zigzag has room for subtlety on the decent. I can feather it. It doesn’t send me flying. The RRP dropped me a good foot or so when I first managed to engage the birds head in srt. I was only a few feet up. I kept trying and it broke...
