A cinching and retrievable anchor for working on a log or spar is a great tool to have in your mental toolbox. Here is a quick and easy example that gives the climber a mode of escape in the event that something goes wrong on the spar.

I use an Alpine Butterfly with a V3 Quickie to cinch my tie in. Just leave a tail long enough to retrieve the cinch, either from the ground or just down to your next cut.

Great vid. Thanks. Another option is to tie your bowline knot with a 10,15,20’ tail and as you work your way down. You can stop. Anchor in. And tug the knot down to you using the tail. Cinch it you, do your work. Repeat on down. It’s an option in certain scenarios. Not saying it’s any better than just clipping the tail of climbing line. I like that too. The great thing about all of these little systems and tips is the infinite variability and strategy specific styles one can implement. Thanks!

Hey Jake! 😃👊 I find that the more I use the Quickie link on an Alpine butterfly the more I like it. Being able to attach midline and having the option to quickly and easily switch the direction of the "cinch" depending on what the situation calls for. Also, I will set the length of my tail depending on the what the situation calls for. The only drawback I can think of is you have to make sure the Quickie pin is pointing away from the trunk. Thanks and keep yourself safe! 😎👍❤️🌲 Randy

I'd like for you to have brought up the idea of directional cinching as well. This is a great tip but in my early career and seeing newer climbers to this technique I've noticed that I at the time and them while new will cinch in a way that allows it to open up when learning in the direction opposite the cinch.

Solid. I'm an apprentice arborist and all these kind of little tips and tricks are soo handy 👌😁

Excellent, looks way cooler than what I've been doing. Gonna try that out today

I’ve seen the top loop hooked with a carabiner on a separate line before but not the tail end of main climb line. I’ll have to give this a try. Would simplify things not having two ropes

Thankyou, Keith! Never seen this method before, and the simplicity is awesome. I like the idea much better than the long tail method.

if you have an eye on the end of your line a carabiner in that is even better. you can use it in as a crude three to one, so i use it in wide canopy prunes as well

@Jakob.s_ladder 3 жыл бұрын

you could even add a pulley for less friction. I love this also because the biner backs up the bowline

You did your yosemite wrong.Your last move goes on the left side of your up rope.It does matter. See yosemite revisited from the Educated Climber

@LTawesomesauce 3 жыл бұрын

I noticed this too. It looks like he tied his running bowline in a weird way but the yosemite tie off should end up running back along the end that has the bowline tied on

How can you do a video on drt anchor for spare work please? That is retrievable like the srt system.

@thegreenrevival4424 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for this, just what I was looking for. On a separate note, I see you have th HipStar Flex there as your lanyard?? If it is what i think i see, what length do you prefer out of interest?

@robthompson1399 3 ай бұрын

I use one like this. What I don't like is the 3x length of rope, I keep my tail termination with me in the tree, I'd just clip that on the cinch instead.

@@robthompson1399 didn't think abouthat..I understand climbing useing the other end ..but not on spar work..very interesting..unless I'm over thinking it..or forgot..over the years..had few commas have memories issue.very frustrating...as an example I will be working on trees and forget the name of simple tree that I know and have cut for decades..it's imbarsing.in front of customers. Then remember little while later..or since I tie running bowlines mostly can do eyes closed .but ask me to tie a bowline by itself and I struggle ..recently have Been trying to stick to a practice of alpine butterfly s for climbing and bowlines for rigging..with exception of clove hitches..occasionally..learned that from Richard mumford ..back in 90 s ....when I learned was different industry..we only used trueblue and manilla ,or 3 strand....so new to all the newer age ways..learning srt still...but it' seems far superior in most cases especially spar cinching..the guys I've seen just use running bowline with a long tail...but like the srt methods

@Sethhaun78 I have climbed for years on a blakes hitch, I took on srt about 4 years ago and will never look back ! It was not just srt for me, I bought a hitchclimber pulley and REALLY enjoyed all the techniques of using that. That drove me to try srt, and I have only one regret, that I never got on to it before !
