Have you ever broke out and swung back to your tie-in tree? I always worry about being impaled on a branch stub after swinging back. 13:20 I use heavy duty zip ties in those situations to secure my lanyard snap to my saddle so it will fail and release me from the breakout.

I have that same claw and it is an every day carry item for me. I would really like to get a second one but I can't find them for sale anymore. Can you get some made and for sale with your manufacturing connections? I heard the background story behind that grappling hook style is that it was developed by a Vancouver island climber who then sold a bunch to Wespur. They in turn realized that buddy never got a patent for his design so they copied it and sold their own. But now it's been years and years since I've seen any for sale anywhere. Do you have any leads? Much love from Port Clements, BC.

@recoates I'm curious, do you worry about the side loading of grappling over when you do it on a tree like this? If you don't worry about it, then is there a big advantage to tying into the live tree? Or is it mostly to make the climb more comfortable?

cool Reg, thanks for sharing your perspective. i'm wondering, since i don't work with tall trees like this, would shooting an srt line in the healthy fir be sketchy because you can't see what the rope goes over? i imagine you manually set your line to be 100% confident in its integrity
@Recoates11 ай бұрын
Yes, I've done that many times, but in this case there wasn't a clear shot to be had from the ground. It's also very easy to get the throw line stuck in a Douglas fir as there's always lots of broken stubbs and snags trying to get you.
