This type of tree anchor is very common with rescue teams as well as pit cavers (especially in the south eastern US where trees are all around the mouth of the pit usually) I do not know about using any type of ascender on a static line taking all of the shock loads in case of a fall... they are not really made to take large shock forces (many ascenders will chew through the rope sheath.. perhaps this petzl one is different) From my experience, depending on the length of rappel, most “static” ropes have plenty of stretch in them for a decent fall or misstep without injury.

Look up tensionless hitch in CMC rope rescue manuals. Rule of thumb; Minimum 4 wraps and the anchor needs to be a minimum of 4x the diameter of rope. If the anchor (tree in this case) has a good abrasive surface, not smooth, the rope will not slip. If you are concerned about slipping than add more wraps. When using a tree as an anchor for a tensionless hitch it’s better to do a high strength tie off (kzbin.info/www/bejne/opCseHptiseqgcU)… that towel is doing very little if anything to protect the tree. With sufficient force, the bark under the rope can break free and spin (like a spool) allowing your wraps to be reduced to 1 wrap and a choke. A tensionless hitch is considered a 100% strength while a high strength tie off is rated 97%. The difference is in the last wrap, simply tie an overhand knot around the standing end and wrap the tree once more, then tie off to the standing end similar to what you did with the tensionless. The overhand knot is not loaded unless the rope spins….this will prevent the “unspooling” of your wraps should the bark break free. Attaching the screamer as you have here will only deploy by the amount of slack provide in the wrap, which negates using the tensionless hitch in the first place. Also, you should not load a screamer or any shock absorber device on a main line. They are not designed to have a steady, constant load applied to them. Pulling on them in this way could cause them to deploy unexpectedly…they are for shock loads and work best if attached directly to the climber on a belay line.

Hopefully you will see this at this late date. If the rope has that much friction being wrapped 3 or 4 times near one end, it seems you could wrap around the tree with the middle of the rope and rappel using it as a double rope in an ATC other desender. That seems like it would add redundancy and be safer. Also, not likely to spool around the tree. What do you think?

If you don't like the idea of having the butterfly knot in there, you could try a prusik or some other friction hitch and clip the screamer to that. It may not move around as much as the Rescucender and might provide a little slippage as it cinches down.

This is absolutely the better way to do it if you want to add a screamer. Minimal strength loss, and a redundant anchor, plus some shock absorption even if you don’t add the screamer. Mechanical prusiks also would be fine, though a lot more expensive.

"Assender & Descender folks" don't like the "bounciness' of a dynamic rope. I don't know how they provide for shock absorption in the tree if they slip. The forces on a human body when caught in a fall on a static rope are severe or deadly unless its a very short fall (a couple feet or less). So unless these folk are using a dynamic rope or some other system I'm unaware of while moving around in the tree it seems pretty sketchy. And by the way, a "pendulum swing" is not always a possible way to dissipate the falling forces.

'Top roping' usually refers to rock climbing by going to a spot above a "cliff" one wants to climb and installing 'anchors' of various types with a "belay point" which a dynamic rope is attached to at its midpoint and the rest of the rope is thrown down the cliff. Whereupon those who installed the anchor/belay point go back to the bottom of the cliff where one person 'clips in to one end of the rope' and another person prepares to belay the climber by controlling the other end of the rope. Then whoever is involved takes turns climbing/belaying. SOLOing on a top rope system is a SPECIALIZED ACTIVITY requiring SPECIAL PROCEDURES you need to study first if you don't want to die! IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TREE CLIMBING!

@FlyfishermanMike
@FlyfishermanMike 4 жыл бұрын
The stretch is the biggest negative. Depending on the length of the climb and your current position you could fall and stretch several feet. Since TRS "falls"don't generate much force a dynamic isn't really needed. If you're running laps throw up a dynamic. If you're working moves on a tough project a static might be better. It depends on different factors. Knowing and understanding those factors and how the equipment relates is one of the most important TRS skills you can obtain. A dynamic is more multipurpose but if you get serious about TRS there's probably a static/semi in your future.

Not an expert but doing a course on this stuff: even "static" ropes have a degree of stretch in them. That stretch depends on how long the rope is. So if you slip 30m below an anchor, it will be a less severe shock than if you fell 1m below the anchor.

@tr33m00nk
@tr33m00nk 4 ай бұрын
Nearly all lines opes used to climb on (that is ascend or descend) are called "static" because they stretch very little (usually only 1.5 to 3% elongation per 10% of tensile strength: tensile strength is reported as lbs or kiloNewtons of force the rope can withstand before "failure" and it varies with the materials in the rope and the structure of the rope). The downside is that when one falls on a static rope there is almost no give in the rope to absorb the energy of the falling person and a fall of only 3-4 feet can cause serious bodily injury if the energy is not dissipated by rope stretch and the stretch of any other equipment that stretches or otherwise absorbs the 'falling energy' that you have between you and the rope. This is why rock climbers use dynamic rope designed to absorb 'fall energy' if its rigged & used properly. I recommend looking up "ropes" at petzl.com or blackdiamondequipment.com or mammut.com if you really want to know more about how to avoid injury or death while using ropes to climb.

Arborist here: most of the time, a tree is not hollow. Some of the time, a tree IS hollow. Some of the time when a tree is hollow, you can see that it's hollow. Some of the time, you can't. Arborists, who are trained to know trees, rarely break a secretly hollow tree, but it does happen, and if you're not an arborist, you have a lot less knowledge about which tree is likely to be deathly hollow. Before I trust my body to a tree while doing arborist work, I tie off near the top and pull the tree sideways as hard as I can. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing. If you have absolutely any doubt about the strength of your tree, tie up as high as you can and test it with as much tension as you can, then tie it back at the base. Tying up high for the test gives you more leverage, so you put more tension on the tree, to simulate the shock load of a fall; tying low for your climb gives you "less" leverage, so your actual fall puts less force on the tree. Also, if you're going to be tying off to trees a lot, maybe talk to an arborist who is familiar with the main species of trees in your area, and ask if any of them are particularly prone to this kind of issue. In my area of South Central Manitoba, for example, I'd think twice before tying off to a gnarly Acer negundo, aka scrub maple, boxelder, Manitoba maple. They are far too often riddled with internal cavities, because in spring when little food is available, squirrels chew their bark off to lick the droplets of sugary sap that form. This introduces rot into the relatively soft internals of the tree (unlike most maples, this one has soft wood), but it grows so fast that it can heal over the rot, hiding the fatal flaw. That's just one local example, your area is bound to be different.

Not really. Most of a trees roots are spread out just under and in the topsoil. But some species have a tap root that goes straight down to varying depth depending on the species. That's why it's a good idea to evaluate the soil conditions around any tree your using for climbing or something else: soaking wet soil = looser "lift-able" roots, dry soil = firm more solid root connection, sandy soil is a whole other kind tree-connection weakness. That's why it's sketchy to climb trees at a swamp or bog.

Why not connect to a prusik rather than tie a alpine butterfly knot? That way ur not dealing with the not to knot issue. lol

@@BetaClimbers -- That device that you are calling a "screamer" looks to be similar to what we had on safety harnesses when working aloft in the Navy. Best I could tell from looking at them back then (never took a fall, so I'm not absolutely certain) is that they were a long piece of webbing which was folded over on top of itself a certain amount (12-18 inches probably), then sewn together (although not sewn that strong together). As such, each time a new layer was sewn, the older layers were also being sewn, thus making each layer difficult to be ripped open. I'm assuming that there were the same number of stitches on each layer, but there's no reason why they might not have increased the stitches in the lower levels so that it was progressive in the force that it was exerting in decelerating you.

@@jakeblanton6853 the amount of stitches are calculated to rip at a certain amount of force. Then the amount of layers are added to slow that force down. It’s an interesting subject I’ll have to make a video on it thanks for this idea.

Too much gear. I don't see how you'll create so much force top rope soloing to justify this. Makes no sense for rappelling since you can't pull the rope down.

I want to like your videos... I just don't. I believe youre well intentioned but just are missing on delivery and substance. If youre TR Soloing what is your worry that you would need screamer? What kind of shady scenarios are you getting into STRing with a (semi) static rope that you would consider this..... It feels like your trying to make the video longer for some reason. Decent info on the tree wrap. I was taught minimum 3 wraps, with 4 preferable. also a great option would be some webbing and a doing a wrap 4, pull 2 for your anchor.
