Solo rigging limbs from a tree is a skill that requires precision and care. It's impressive to see the technique and safety measures involved in doing this solo. Proper rigging not only ensures the climber's safety but also minimizes damage to the tree and surrounding property. It's crucial to use the right equipment and maintain control of the limbs throughout the process. Great job showcasing the importance of planning and executing each step carefully. Keep climbing, keep growing, and keep shining bright, my friends! 🌳✨

Tom Ness, the founder of Ness Climb Gear, ( with Sophia Sparks) showed me this in 1994, he called it " Cheap ground crew" Pretty slick. As you pointed out, there are many factors involved with the rope placement, and many other factors. Great video. Jim in Oregon

I tried out keeping my rigging and climbing lines in rope bags, up in the tree with me - game changer. The ropes don't get tangled up anymore on the ground in the brush. I was able to work all afternoon lowering / chucking down branches, pulling my rigging line back up and stowing it after every branch. The biggest problem after was working my way out of the massive pile, once I got back on the ground

Thank you for this ‘how to’. Even with a ground crew, those pruning jobs can be slow and leave gaps in the ground crew’s attention span. There are many times I’m at my limit on a limb walk, need to get those extended tips off, and nobody is around to run a rope. I have a habit of girth hitching a small DIY pocket sling to tree and clipping the piece with a side loaded ANSI steel biner to catch it. If the crew is still not ready, I’ll I cut the hanging piece smaller and chuck - Last week, brush next to the roof would have bounced it back into the house. It was really handy to transfer the sling to the piece and clip my climbing tail to the biner to get it down….then pull the tail back. I had somebody to eventually catch the piece, but alone, this is risky, as the climbing tail may tangle and not come back. I just aquired a fancy new ratchet pulley lowering device, and I’m glad to know another way to use it.

I was shocked to see you make a "how to video"! I work alone as well and use this system, I have noticed that stiffer ropes get tangled less than soft flexible ropes. Definitely shorter ropes are better than super long ones like you said. Are there brands of ropes that you have found better than others?

I know what you mean about the stiffer ropes, and frankly some of the el-cheapo Amazon ropes I've been sent as samples have been super stiff and good for lighter rigging. I use some Samson ropes,. and few from Pelican ... and I've even used some old-school three strand stuff lately for rigging. My rigging lines get trashed pretty fast to be honest, so I kinda go through them

I've adapted this by using a prussik to hold on to the rigging rope, so that I can tension everything up before the cut, and after lower the limb in a very controlled way. I use a sling to hold the prussik to the tree
@metaspencer
@metaspencer 6 ай бұрын
sounds like a cool system! I'll have to try that on Monday ... I like how what you have there is a smooth lowering method (via the prussik) that also holds tight

Enjoyed the video. I solo rig a lot. I used the new Rock Exotica Downrigger on my last job. It worked great. I really like it so far. The climber can use it or the ground person can use it. Not for really heavy stuff....maybe 3-4" used alone. Or you can add some additional friction with false crotch or figure eight or porty. Give it a try.

I can see how a somewhat short line might strangely be an advantage, so that the line is less likely to get snarled at the bottom.

Yeah it's surprising but the short line directs the piece and is super easy to retrieve -- none of that exhausting pulling line up and resetting it
