- Dan shows how useful the flagpole technique is when climbing on a moving rope system (M.R.S) , saving time and energy. Dan the walks through the system step by step so you can see clearly, and understand it is actually quite simple when you are familiar with this technique.
Practice this a few times on the ground until you understand it, then put this into your bag of tricks. It will bring a big smile to your face when you get the right opportunity to use it.

i have done this technique hundreds of times i never new there was a name wahoo ! but then Started climbing in 1990 with 3 strand manila LOL thanks for many years of great content .. Joe
Great technique!! Thanks for the comment too!
Great video as always. I was taught this at school and it was called a Ponytail redirect. But this is the best video demonstration of it in action i have seen. Well done!
Awesome buddy, We appreciate the comment as always 🤙
Cant believe this is the first time ive seen this. Brilliant thank you
Let me know once you’ve tried it 🤙
Really useful technique. One of the biggest ball aches DDRT/MRS is being restricted by the friction caused by unwanted redirects, making you essentially climb back to your anchor. With good planning, this is a real time and energy saver. Lovely vid, another sweet sweet job bro.
Glad you made this video! This is somehow one of the most overlooked and underrated techniques, even though it's been around for a long time. This technique alone is enough reason to use MRS more often
I know what you mean buddy. This technique always makes me smile when I use it.
@@ClimbingArborist like you said, it feels like a magic trick!
Never heard it call the falgpole, always ponytail redirect as shown in the climbers companion from the 90,s. such a time saver like ya vid shows,
Such a great technique, yeah ponytail redirect is another term for it.
Thanks for the comment 🤙
En France on appel cette technique le passage fantôme. Merci pour la vidéo 👍😉
In France this technique named "The ghost". Thanks for sharing.
This guy is my favorite climber hands down
Spiderjack 3 has a lock so you can do this without having to tie a knot to prevent movement while redirecting.
Pony tail
Ghost redirect
Flagpole...
Banging trick, can be used mrs/& srwp. Can also be used laterally. Can also be used without prior tail drop, allowing multiple uses if you have a clear rope throw or a harness carry throwline.
Agreed, once you are familiar with this technique there are more ways to utilize it, even without the prior planning.
Yeah - I cary a throw line sometimes and use it to move the rope over to other trees...
Never knew this was a technique! Been doing it for years 🤷♂️👍👍
😂 everything is a technique, some good, some bad but techniques nevertheless. This is a useful one as you can attest too
@@ClimbingArborist That it is, Dan! I discovered it long ago. I'm too old to remember when.! Hope you're well!! Looks like it. (You know me....Roger!)
I know it how "ponytail".
Very usefull video!!!
I think I kinda ‘came up’ with this technique by myself when needed to move over to another tree... Not 100% on it - but I think it’s the same... Just I think if you showed the anchor points and where the rope was moving over a bit closer - it might have been a bit clearer... But Thanks for sharing..! 👍👍👍
very useful, thanks!
Thanks for the comment 🤙
brilliant! love this kind of content!
I love pruning beech trees only down side is bark is really fragile and like ice when it's wet good stuff man
Agree
I do the exact same thing with both SRT and DRT
Interesting trick, thanks! Ganna try it out next week :)
I'll figure it out
is this the same technique as a ponytail redirect? Looked very similar to what one of my climbing instructors showed the class.
Yes we call it a pony tail redirect around here. Maybe it's a slight variation different that I didn't catch but looked identical to me
It’s the same. Never heard it call flagpole though. Be very sure it’ll flip over and back to you or you’re kinda stuck.
Same technique, just another name
@@ClimbingArborist I seen beddes pull that off at an itcc in 2005 , thought it was pretty slick
I honestly couldn't follow this at all. I'm sure it's as awesome as described, but the first clip had the system completely occluded by branches, and, in the second ,you couldn't see what the system was being suspended from. May I request another clip? Perhaps a smaller set up so the viewer can see the whole/technique operation? Cheers.
You can see everything really that needs to be seen in the second demo. When the system goes up out of shot, it’s just being pulled above a union, and then when you pull on the tail that is when the system comes back down to you.
I'm with you. Have no idea what happened. Needs a video on the ground with the whole thing in frame.
Hi Dan, glad to see you are getting thru this crazy time OK and staying busy. So I am rather fuzzy on what is happening above. You are not pulling it across the limb the system is actually over, but simply stuff below that to swap sides of the tree?
Yes, pulling the system up and over branches below that would prevent you working a different part of the tree due to a poor rope angle. This technique gives you that good rope angle for the next area of tree to work without climbing back up and over.
@@ClimbingArborist Tried it several times today, Dan. Works a treat! BTW, I have met you a few times at climbing events here in the PacNW. I am the guy who built a power ascender with a big DeWalt cordless drill and a Sala-RollGliss R500 emergency descender, heavily modded.
Can u practice ponytail redirect on the ground?
Hi, you can use it on SRS to
Yes! I use it all the time. Same concept, just plan ahead and put your tail where you want to go later. To switch, just make sure you pull enough slack through your system so it'll go up and over and all the way back down to you when you pull on the tail. Very important otherwise your system will be out of reach.
Wat rope are u using ?
Nice.😆 😆.💪
Huh, never knew this had a name.
It’s a great technique
