The ring choke trick was pretty neat. I'll have to give that a try. You can also run the tail of your climbing line through the carabiner to make your system retrievable like the pinto. You can descend one-third of your rope length. I also recommend facing the gate of the carabiner away from the anchor. A gate grinding down the trunk makes me cringe.

Camera Man, Plz focus on what he is trying to share with us ( close up ) Zoom in : ) We can hear him talking. Dont need to see everything he is saying . Thx. LOVE and APPRECIATE everything you share with us.

Nice options. Much appreciated!
-
Enjoyed the video.
-
Brilliant!
-
Superb video. Been waiting for something like this for a while. What’s the name of the device that will come out soon? I’m really enjoying Edelrid a products especially the Tree Rex.
-
Great stuff! Thanks for the ideas. Is it OK to choke the spar for the single line and have a Petzl grigri for lowering, much like the mega watt?
-
Thanks for the excellent tips! Will that Pinto pulley withstand the load if it is used in that position against the tree? Can it withstand, for example, descending with a rope?
-
I have a question. What about girth hitching a sling that is long enough to girth around tree but not too long. Then use a biner with a micro pulley. Run your rope through pulley using DRT? It would choke plus give you a way to the ground smoothly.
-
what rope would you recommend as your anchor rope?
-
What about double wrapping a rope lanyard?
-
One could bomb out of a tree on a VT alone... however it would have to be an authentic blue water rope technora as it wont melt on the rope as conventional prusik material.
-
Your ANSI Z133 must be newer than mine...I have zero mention of a choking anchor being required for spar work....
-
What chest system is that?
-
Could you use a gri gri on that set up?
-
Before I switched to mechanical devices I would always come down single line on a chocked spar with just my hitch cord. Never had a problem.
-
Dark glasses boyz…mmmm
-
If you weigh more than 200 lbs, this TreeRex harness is super uncomfortable. Digs into your kidneys, if you add a Saw, forget about it. Not enough padding for larger dudes.
-
"Bowlines have a way of coming loose"???? I've NEVER had a bowline come loose on me, and I've tied thousands.
