That's a Yale Phantom and the diameter is 11 mm. The rope wrench is the most adjustable device for rope diameters. I have climbed on 8 mm to 11.7 mm. You have to adjust your friction cord and hitch carefully for smaller diameters.

Doesn't ruin your rope with the prusik coming down every time. Because of the friction
@davidanderson5736 3 ай бұрын
Actually it's the opposite. Because the hitch cord remains in contact with the rope but slides down the rope, the hitch cord will eventually wear out. The rope is fine.

if, prior to climbing, the rope wrench slips down just by pulling down on the plastic tether, does it mean that the wrench with squirrel tether is not properly installed or will it be resolved by hanging on the rope with my own weight ? Thank you in advance for your help and consideration
@davidanderson5736 4 ай бұрын
That is a GREAT question. Always test your climbing system before ascending. Install the Rope Wrench, pulley, friction knot, and carabiner. Remove the rope wrench from the rope, and with the carabiner attached to your harness, take a jump up and fall. The know should catch immediately and firmly. If it doesn't, retie the friction hitch. Once you have a hitch you trust, reinstall the rope wrench and climb. I always like to climb a few feet (like six) and then rest in the system to make sure everything is holding.

Why don't they just use an ascender? What am I missing?
@davidanderson5736 4 ай бұрын
The Rope Wrench allows ascent, descent, and lateral movement, all on the same device. Most mechanical devices are for ascent only (like hand-held ascenders) or descent only (like a GriGri), and are not approved for lateral (side to side) movements. Climbing on a Wrench is fluid, safe, efficient. You get to go any direction - up, down, sideways - whenever you want. Climbing on a system where you have to switch between devices to go up, down, up, down, etc. is awkward, inefficient, and dangerous.

Some people use this system for all of their tree access, but you always need a lanyard or flipline also. Some climbers use this system to access the tree, then use MRS (or DdRT) for lateral movements. But yes, this will get you anywhere.

Hola! Muyyy buena pregunta. Normalmente el cordino mide 2 mm menos que la cuerda, pero tiene mucho que ver con el material en la chaqueta de ambos. Hay veces que uso un cordino de 10 mm en una cuerda de 10 mm, si la fricción entre los dos es adecuado. Hay combinaciones de cuerda y cordino que no funcionan bien. Tengo como tres marcas de cordinos en diferentes diámetros y largos.

This is one of the best I’ve seen as to what to expect when someone has bought the gear… and as to the common basics they need to know. Really intuitive. I would love for you to point me to a video that more carefully constructs the process of the hitch friction knot, assuming I have bought all the gear, and am not quite getting it right. Also. I am expecting to get on a ladder with my cord and weight, and throw box, and try to get up to where I want to go. I would appreciate advice there. But also, assuming I don’t get my line all the way to the best V in the tree, I intend to use a flip line to get me the few feet to the next one. If I don’t have to carry a heavy flip line, and you have a better suggestion in working your way to the top (and the gear to install to not have to do it again, on a permanent basis), that would be great. Assume this is for antenna minimization and also maintenance… goal being. Permanent materials. Easy access. Easy repeatability. I very very much appreciate the time you have taken in your selfless tutelage.

Agreed! I'd watch any video about climbing and managing the forest. As a recreational tree climber, I love this kind of stuff, and would love to see more. By the way, the friction hitch tending cap (or cover) you are using looks slick. I keep catching/snagging my gloves in my hitch, and that would solve my problem. Can you direct me to more info on it? Or is that your own creation?

Amen to you guys. Climbing trees for conservation is doubly fun. The gadget you are asking about is called a hitch breaker. They are slick. It's like converting a friction hitch into a mechanical device. Mine are made by Big Jim Pavlicin. Type "Big Jim Hitch Breaker" into Google and you will find them.

@davidanderson5736 10 ай бұрын
Kryton, this is a great question, honestly. In tree climbing we only use one access line to get into the tree. Sometimes we have lanyards and secondary ropes, but for ascending and descending it's on a single rope. Any time we work with any type of a blade - chainsaw, handsaw, pruning sheers, knife - it's best practice to have two points of attachment. Trees have a complicated structure and trying to manage two ropes simultaneously can introduce more danger than safety. In some European countries the regulatory commissions are introducing a 2-rope standard, and it's unwelcome oversight. All of this stresses the importance of constant rope inspection and hyper-vigilant maintenance. Thanks for the question - David.

@@davidanderson5736 Hello David, thanks for the answer! Yes, two ropes seems impractical. I had the rope wrench itself on my mind. If that prusik fails or slips, you are dead I guess. That makes me feel antsy. I was thinking about adding something like Petzl ASAP above the rope wrench (on the same rope). I know it would be out of intended usage, but I am just trying to find something to feel safer while learning.
@davidanderson5736 9 ай бұрын
@@kryton7687 the rope wrench is the one tool that is applicable to more climbing ropes than any other. The test I show in the video is to verify the knot is correctly tied to prevent slipping. If slipping is a concern of yours, simply tie a slip knot every 6 feet or 2 m below you; if you slip or lose control out of fear, you will hit the knot and your descent is stopped.

Wow. That's a great question. I haven't tried using two foot ascenders but I should give it a go. It would change your body movement totally because you would have to lift both feet at once. That was a style in the old days when we climbed on hand-held ascenders (Jumars) and it worked well then. I think that having one foot and one knee ascender makes it easier to step off on branches. It's worth me trying out the two foot ascenders so I can can answer this question in the future.
