Arborist Spar / Canopy anchor with DMM ring

Just started trying a cinch method on a spars for ascent and descent. I just used a Blake’s hitch. The dead pines I really wish I could have slowly belayed down. Wow. Cool video. Thanks, man.

This is impressive, minimal gear, quick and easy to install and undo and no more jerky jerky descents using one line on the spar, Awesome bro.

Good video. A barrel stopper knot on the end, and pull a loop through the ring will sit nicer on the tree. The fig 8 is usefull if your doing DRT and swapping between the two, the ring can be left on there.

Going to watch this one a few dozen times. Very new to tree work/climbing and I am a mature adult. need the great ideas to save my butt. Thx

Subbed. This is exactly what I was looking for. Just started climbing my own trees trying to learn on my own. I have 3 trees 130 foot that I need to climb and take down, but have been pondering the thought on decending techniques with an easy removeable system when I start descending about 10 foot to chunk those logs. Good stuff bro.

Loved this videos and would love to see more tip videos like this of other application like re directs in the canopy 👌💪

I’ll have to get a ring but this looks pretty simple! I like the cinching systems for leaning spar work but haven’t found anything real efficient yet, this could be it 👍🏼

I like this, ill be using it. It has some advantage over my usual, and its nice too see a cinching anchor for the mrs climbers ! Thank you 👍

You are genius Zack!

Gonna have to try this. Looks awesome

gonna try this out this week! thanks for the info

I still cinch with a r.bowline. And I usually just buck down to my next cut taking lanyard and lifeline with me and i'll recinch bowline. I'm in FL we don't have super tall trees. I can see it's use for taller spar work. As of lately I've been using my mrs system over the srs. Adjustable friction saver are your friend lol. I like the safety! 🤙

I used this today accept with a spliced eye instead of a Figure 8. It was actually really easy and I had no trouble retrieving it, I had only a 16 ft lanyard that I was using so I had to retrieve it a lot. Excellent tip and made my 3rd climb really fun. Thank you. The only thing I wish was different is if you want to give yourself some rotation hold, it' need to be reversed for the side you want some pull on. I guess that's where an adjustable friction saver would come in, but you have more things that could go wrong in my opinion. I'm new, I got trust issues. I liked this set up.

My man! You made that easy

Great content man! Thanks for sharing.

Love it. I usually just throw my rope wrench on for spar work. But Ill have to keep this in mind. Thanks bud. It also drives me crazy how often I see people leave nubs on the spar. Even though they pay for it all the time. 👍

This guy doesn't concern himself with, how Petzl feels about how I go about applying their products. As long as I like it and feel comfortable with it, that's all that matters😎

Yessir! I definitely like this!

That's slick. I try to do the right thing and utilize the notch quickie (as opposed to side loading biner) but I think this is just right. With my srt setup, I can simply drop the rope wrench and keep the hitch climber/prusik and not have so much hanging on my bridge with a more compact setup. Thanks for the share!
