To add onto Marc-Antoine's post, I prefer to ease the load onto the line when I hang many limbs onto one limb then release the entire load onto the rigging line. I find it's preferable when you have so little rope in the system when using aerial friction, which is my typical approach (natural...

The speedline kits at primo, for primo dollars. Beware tree-ware marketing. I've gotten by without issue, economically with aluminum biners and sewn or tied SL slings for over a decade for most SL work. Ring slings and heavier duty gear for heavier work. I have 20 or slings. Solo speed...

Double- whip tackle or midline tie the next pieces. Nobody says you can only take one rigging rope. Tie it on the bottom of the first or take both.

A good one. If i create enough drag for a piece to run without hands on the rope, i can pin the moving rope to the tree with a hand to stop it. I've recently decided that using a sling and biner redirecting away from the cutting action is a good thing for solo rigging at times. You can...

Grapnel's are throwline grabbers with their own bag of tricks.

I'm just curious what gets carried in that bag. When i switched my MCRS pads when i popped a rivet, i didn't bother putting the gear loops back on, years ago. The two 2" steel accessory rings, gear loops (made for cord to hang between), and shoulder harness connection points have been enough...

My point was that he greatly overloaded a high- stretch line. Commonly, the climber is close to/ in the recoil zone.

Some people do. My winch has steel cable. Haven't used it in forever. "Recoil rope" gets lots of videos of starter recoil assembly repairs. Recoil is a real concern when overloading synthetic rope, wire rope or cable.

10:1 safety factor for a new, not-knotted/ bent rope is 730# static. How much force was on the rope if it statically weighs 800#. What do you think the breaking strength in that crusty rope is, when straight and static-pulled? I hope you're boss is as safety-minded as you think. How did a...

What kind of force were you generating with 800 pound pieces? Rope is cheap if you're producing. Sensible to replace it before its concerning. Be careful. Be ready to ask for proper gear. Sounds sketchy. What would protected your soft bag of flesh from a recoiling whip of a breaking...

What do you want to put in your gear bag?

Ultras lock the climber in position until the rope is free. A dead-eye is fast and easy.
