    Tree Climbing using Single Rope Technique/Stationary Rope Technique. A plain and simple video showing Go Pro footage from setting the base tie to ascending to moving around the tree. If you prefer to watch dynamic tree removal or tree fail videos then this is not the video for you.
    This video is for demonstration purposes only and must not be used as a substitute for technical training. It is assumed that the viewer is already familiar with tree climbing and the associated techniques and methodologies involved.

    Plain and simple?! That base anchor was pretty extensive and overkill, my man. Not simple at all

      I am learning how to set up a basal anchor with the function that allows the ground crew to lower an injured climber in an emergency (without teaching them to climb and buying another set of gear). The way shown in this video looks like it would work.. Do you have a suggestion for a better setup?

      in addition to the exaggerated hand gestures, yes. i was thinking the same and realized the the hand gestures make it accessible to everyone, not just english speakers.

      I strongly agree. Andrew, this is a great video and thank you for taking the time to make it. It appears to show numerous basic scenarios, techniques, and options while climbing. I have to say, if you were to speak, voice-over, or even add text , I feel like you could convey so much more information here. I'm sure you have your reasons for this style of video, just something to contemplate. Thanks again for the content!

    come on man! side loding a karabiner, using only one side of your side D's for life suport. Im not about belitting but this is such bad work practice! srt is the shit for climbing and i wouldnt do it any other way! but this is just a really bad example, and made look really hard! try using a ring as a top tie or a cambium saver with a knot block, it save and easy to retrive

    Nice and clear video quality. I wish you would talk and explain what it is you are doing throughout the video! You don't have to talk in great detail explaining every detail of what you're doing, but it would be nice if you would help your viewers (like me) to have some understanding of what you're doing and why. To me it just looks as if you are just moving all around up in the tree and I can't figure out why you're doing that unless you're just doing it for the fun and/or practice of it.
    And, could you make a video explaining (teaching) the method you used to ascend with your feet?

  • @GizmosBushEscapes
    @GizmosBushEscapes 6 років тому +3

    intriguing to watch . wasn't entirely sure exactly what you were demonstrating but still enjoyed watching this.by the way those tree branches must be awfully strong as they looked way too small to support weight.very skillful and easy to see.thanks Andrew

  • @Zack_Darce
    @Zack_Darce 6 років тому +1

    This really seemed like Overkill. Get your throw line up there, pull a friction saver up, run the Rope through it. Then tie a frictionless hitch at the base. Put your hand ascender on, run the climbing end through a grigri and back up through a biner attached to your acender and you have a 2 to 1 that is super easy up and down the tree.. Put a prussik above the grigri for added safety.. Seemed like a lot of fumbling with those lanyards at the top.. Not sure what you were trying to accompish.. Still fun to watch though

    I give you the extra points for the safe part but need to work on the productivity part. Boom boom boom, trees done and on to the next one. My crew leader would of told me vamanos 10 times putting 2 lanyards and switching to canopy anchor like that.

    The New technique in climbing is to side load carabiners. Going out to practice this new technique now.

    • @TreeCraftbyAndrew
      @TreeCraftbyAndrew  6 років тому

      All the carabiner instruction manuals I've seen warn the user to not side load the device. Why would you assume this is a "new technique"?

    • @jrstrange123

      6:39 canopy anchor on the right side (of the screen)
      In a course this week a young climber set up like that and the instructor same over and told him to switch it for a ring.

      The GoPro I'm using in this video has a really crap mic that doesn't pick up speech too well, also I made this video for a buddy of mine in Utah who said "no descriptions, just show me how SRT works". It also works well for people who are hearing impaired, and people who don't speak English.

  • @sergeivershinin549
    @sergeivershinin549 3 роки тому

    You use doubling strops for safety, but use a single rope for ascending and descending. It's not logically.
    It would be reasonable to use additionally second rope and Petzl ASAP LOCK on it.

    Man very impressive video thank you for sharing. I have never done any tree work. I’m a lineman by trade use gaff. But I want to incorporate SRT to my hunting setup. How hard will this be for a person that know nothing about SRT to learn to do this don’t plan to get any higher than 20-25 feet. Any and all advice would be gladly appreciate. Thanks for sharing. And stay safe bro

  • @skyrunr
    @skyrunr 7 років тому

    Nice video! 22:35 Doesn't putting the carabiner on the metal arm cancel out the safety of the prussic? I think I'd sacrifice a little speed for that benefit if the foot ascender slipped or something. What was with the purpose of the double lanyards at 9:04? I got that you were cleaning them up to move around, just not why they were used on the same point.

  • @EgaoKage
    @EgaoKage 7 років тому

    Great vid! I only saw one minor thing you might want to make a habit of. It's good practice to keep your wrench several inches below the lowest aspect of the apex of your climb-line. In your case; the biner, acting as part of your line-retrieval system.

      I got that climb line a while ago - NewEngland Lava 11.5mm. It's sold by SherrillTree and is now call Teufelberger Lava Surge 11.5. It's a decent climb line that works for both single & double rope climbing.

  • @mr.remington

      @dfpguitar 4 роки тому

      I'm not that experienced myself yet but I see all the srt people recommending slimmer (like 11mm) lines with 24 or more strands, tightly woven. As opposed to the traditional arborist lines which are half inch, lower strand count and "bumpy".

      @TreeCraftbyAndrew  7 років тому +3

      Hi Erik,
      The protective sleeve is tubular webbing like the ones used as slings for speedlining, etc. It's usually sold by the foot at Arborist supply stores and, occasionally, REI and it's very cheap. If I remember correctly the webbing I'm using is 2" diameter. Be sure to get the 'tubular'.

    Brother I got to say if this is plain and simple then I literally have a lot to learn on SRT skills and I don't mean that in a derogatory manner. I have a new channel on survival and use only primitive rope climbing to compliment the survival skills. This has drawn my interest into learning more about basic SRT skills and climbing gear. I sub'd your channel to tag along and hopefully master some SRT skills in the process.
