SRT is phenomenal when you do it right.lol I went try to climb with a ropeman on harness and a ropeman on a foot loop.
I really like the idea of srt but I'm past that now! Lol
Ive hunted a lot where i ascend up the rope, setup,hunt then rappel down. No sticks needed.I'm new here and have been reading through all these old threads but maybe I'm not getting something...I thought the idea with rappeling down was simplicity, you could rappel down and not have to climb down. You would still use sticks (or a stick) to go up but would just rappel down and then (hopefully) get your rope back. Correct?

Most of the guys referring to rappeling down on here on doing it after the climb up with spurs, rather than climb back down with spurs. There are a few guys using SRT to climb so they would be rappeling down also, but most of the references you see are guys using spurs.I don't see the point of rappelling down if you have sticks. Just for using spikes or rope to climb. I want to see a video of climbing with a rope (SRT) for our use. I looked through plenty YouTube videos but they use too much equipment and it's noisy. I know some of you guys have it fine tuned for saddle hunting. That's what I want to see.
^^THISIt's also easier to just rappel down if you climbed up using a seat-climber or a single stick method.
lol, although, if you are using the seat climber to get up there, getting back up is gonna be roughIt's also easier to just rappel down if you climbed up using a seat-climber or a single stick method.
I was all in on rappelling once I realized flingin' was gonna deliver on the tutorial video but he ended up bailing on me. I think he chose a lame trip to some mountain somewhere so he could snuggle up to his woman at night in a little tent and hope she didn't kick him out for smelling like brook trout. Maybe G2 has what it takes to do a video!

Thanks bud!!! I really do want to try it this year. Been watching some YouTube stuff but it seems to detail things that the forum members are not mentioning. Look forward to it.HAHAHA you pretty much nailed it! I'm gonna do a video just for you Huck. I promise

HahahahahaIt's pretty simple and once you do it a few times there's nothing to it. It's a lot more fun than climbing down on the spikes that's for sure lol. And plus you feel like some kind of ninja
