- Here is the full video of Leila's rescue yesterday. She was a total sweetheart and so easy to work with. She had been stuck for a couple of days 45' up in a pine tree (likely chased up by a neighborhood dog). She was extremely cooperative in the canopy and a pleasure to work with.
Hello again Judson...GREAT JOB!!!! Thanks for being so kind to these cats while your rescuing them. I see your running some new rigging over your rope wrench. How do you like the new gear. I'm still using my RW.... have thought about purchasing what your running now. Thanks for taking us along on another rescue.
Thanks!
This was the first rescue I used my ZigZag/Chicane on. It's a very nice device. Once familiar with it, it is very smooth (more so than a regular hitchcord), but it's also a little more sensitive and if you accidentally bump the release links into anything you can slip a little bit- so, I prefer to use it on easier climbs that are less technical where there is less chance of it being annoying. It is a great device (and it's even better for MRS climbing), but to be honest It's not a huge difference over just using a hitchcord and rope wrench. It's very fun though.
How would anyone even find a cat that high up? Was it meowing like crazy? That cat is like eff this, get me out of this tree 😂 Great job man.
Thank you! Yes, they are usually VERY vocal. You can often hear them down the road even. (often non stop as well). It also helped that this cat was mostly white, and stood out in the darker green foliage of this pine.
