Double tie in point?

arboromega · Sep 12, 2004

biker,
to your original question...no i dont carry any extra split tail, tennex, etc. to double crotch. just the tail of my rope with a blakes in it if i do use it. IMO i would equate carrying and extra split tail or something like it to carrying speedline gear into the tree just in case i need it. like speed lining, the dble crotch is rare use. if you do use a 2nd TIP often just have your groundie tie on an extra split tail to the end of you line before you pull it up.

I don't see a whole lot of simalarities (sp) in carrying a whole bag of speedlie equipment. slings, biners and the whole 9 yards. As opposed to a piece of tenex and a biner or two. I'm really surprised at all the negative responses this thread has produced. In my opinion it's really a simple technique and a simple procedure and not a crutch for those of you who lean tword that way of thinking...

Biker,
It all depends on your level of experience... unfortunately few have ever witnessed what is possible in world class tree climbing... until you see, it's hard to even imagine...
Thaty said... each of us have to do what works for us... no shame in that ... do right by the trees and how you do it is up to you...

Sounds like you migh have to get out of your parish if you want to see some for yourself.. videos may be cool and all, but watching it on a small screen is a long way of from running ropes or otherwisw working the ground for a TRUE master..
