    C-IV slipping with Safeguard

    I have been using a Madrock Safeguard for just over 1 year as my ascender/descender in an SRT setup. I briefly used monster 10mm static rope then 1 season using blue water 10.5mm static rope and most recently Sterling C-IV 9mm static rope. The device performed as expected until I started using...

    How heavy is your SRT setup?

    Hey all, I have been taking my SRT setup elk hunting, and boy does it feel heavy climbing the mountains. I want to setup on some waterholes and saddles farther up the mountain, and I'm thinking about what I can do to lighten my setup. Do you carry 1 or 2 throwbags? Mine are 12 oz and I've been...

    Srt and being at height

    Complete saddle noob here, I’m actually ordering my first saddle when I get paid next week (Treehopper Transformer). Researching climbing methods, I think I’ve settled on srt to get to hunting height. Question is, when you guys get to your desired height do you make a secondary attachment to...

    Knot to tie climbing rope to throw rope for SRT

    With a pre-set or with the throw line, what knot are you using to tie on your climbing rope so it doesn’t get hung up In the crotch of the tree or slip out on the pull?

    SRT on 3/16" UHMWPE (Amsteel)

    I bought a 50 foot winch rope kit kit from HF made from UHMWPE. I was thinking 50 feet is the perfect length for an SRT climbing line. I tried hanging from the line with my Petzl ascender and it worked OK. The rope was a little deformed but it is tough and strong. I have been thinking about...

    Pine Tree Anchor Points

    Most of the areas I hunt are leased southern pine forests with few hardwoods. Prior to next season, I would like to pick some pine trees and leave para cord in the trees to pull up a rope for SRT ascent. I don't trust the branches. I can go over a branch and around the trunk with the para cord...

I am selling the remainder of rope, roughly 225’. I am willing to sell 100’ sections, or the rope as a whole. Will sell 100’ for $80...

    DIY knee ascender build

    Picked up SRT awhile back using the leapfrog method that @JCLINE84 demonstrates in his videos. Eventually came across a CMI foot ascender and wanted to try rope walking. Knee ascenders are a lot of pesos, so I ended up repurposing my hand ascender. Think it turned out nicely. Paired with the...

    SRT problems

    Ok so I am still new to SRT and still working the kinks out. I really like climbing this way but if the issue I'm having can't get fixed I may have to reconsider my climbing method. So here's what's going on... -Walk up to tree with pre set throw line already set -I connect the tag end to the...
