I've been practicing for 18 years I still suck 😂
You and me both!
Hey! I had a lot of luck with double bagging recently. When I wanted to isolate a branch fork, the throw bags got jammed so that the two lines couldn't go back and forth. In my head I was already calculating how much the two throw bags and my beloved DMM XSRE screw lock would cost.
At some point I was just tugging at the lines in desperation. Snap! and both projectiles came flying towards me. It turned out that the lower band on one of the throw bags had broken. I was so happy to be able to hold everything in my hands again. 😅 The next time I threw, I hit it better and could climb high.
Thanks for the informative video 👍
Girth hitch without the bowline works well
Great advice! THANX!😊
The Bowline with a Yosemite finish is my fav, easily attach/detach the girth hitch from the throw weight to the lifeline rope without ever touching the knot.
I use 10 oz bags, though even the tiniest branches can affect the trajectory of my throws, and if I'm not super careful when pulling the line back inn the weights will swing around a branch 10x. "Climb of shame" is a fitting term..
Great video and the details to the throwing and especially the aiming!
Bowline termination is definitely my go-to for attachment, it's just so simple!
Word. Right on time
I've always used the over index finger method. Accuracy and launch height is unbeatable. 1 extra tip from what i saw here, is to pull a slight tension in the string between both hands, then if you perfectly time the release of the string in your holding hand just as the weight is nearing the end of the slack in the string after releasing with your throwing hand. You can create a double whip between the weight and string that nearly doubles the height of your throw while maintaining accuracy.
I use a different tie. I use a clove hitch but add a bite in the second loop of my clove. For me, it's quicker to tie and pull's out by pulling the tail of your string, just like your figure 8.
Sweet advice, thanks for that!
Great video guys. My first climb I forgot to isolate the union. Then I thought it would be a good idea to use my climb line to double bag. What a mistake that was. Lot's of lessons were learned that day. 😅 I definitely need to practice throwing more.
Practice does make perfect or in this case, increases the probability of making it in minimal shots!
Thanks for using Harrison rockets :)
Great video well explained and demonstrated. I attach using a slippery clove-hitch and usually throw an 8oz.
Harrison Rockets are Abdon's favorite throw weight, solid product!
Can you do a “whats on my saddle” with the DMM Kinisi 🤘🏼
In the works!
Thro ball is hard now srt. Helps thanks
Hey Abdon! Thank you for the video. I use a slippery anchor hitch!
Nice!
Great video Abdon! While isolating, I do often find myself flaking throw line on the ground to access the bottom end of the throw line, and it’s tangle-ville in many terrains. Sometimes I consider carrying an empty third cube to flake into and avoid tangles….is that weird?
It wouldn't be weird if you find success with a spare cube. May be laying out a small tarp could help reduce the tangles?
Slipery 8 or Crown work well for me on the bag tie.
Easy on, easy off!
Just like your channel more n more
Thanks for that!💪
super j'adore tes vidéo👌 utilise tu parfois un big shot ? bonne grimpe
Merci beaucoup! Normally, I don't use the big shot unless the ideal tie in point is out of my throwing range.
lost all my bags in one tree trying to get a drone down, RIP
OOF 😣, we feel your pain!
