I love how this video turned out, but I wish I could go back and change it. I would change my recommendation to set your rope out away from the trunk. It is actually much easier if your rope is right against the trunk, so your feet touch the trunk as you walk up the rope... - Patrick
Noted Patrick.
I just watched someone do that earlier today I believe it was Bino and was thinking the same thing... besides that awesome job no nonsense clear explanations and details... one suggestion I would make is to lose the music... not a huge deal but just my opinion... thanks for sharing!
Was second guessing that, as I've only used Blake's hitch, learning everything that's changed in the last 10 years
I've watched many TH-camr climbing channels but just recently found yours. Out of everything I've seen, your instruction style is the clearest and easiest to understand. Others gloss over important details that really matter to a newbie or get way too detailed with the tech specifics without touching the big picture perspective. I wanted to take the time to say thanks for what you have shared here!
Thank you very much !!!! Greetings from Greece!!!
13 people are too good not to like this. This guy was so humble and simple that even the tree learned something.
Thanks for the video.
the tree is thankful for him not using spikes.
I can’t believe you just put up this video a couple minutes after I just did my SRT video where do you think? I learned everything I know? That’s right from you my brother you are one of the ones that has inspired me to be better and better and better thank you very much
Thanks a lot for all your valuable educational work!
So glad to see you making content again, thanks for sharing and teaching. Nice shirt too!
Brilliant video, interesting, educational and very well explained. Thanks for taking the time to post.👍🏼
After an amazingly awkward, fumbling time yesterday, I am *so* appreciating this video. Little things like "foot first, then knee once off the ground" and "throwbags to weight the rope" were pure gold. Thank you!
Just getting into tree cutting & climbing. Thank you for these videos. I've been looking for these types of tutorials.
Great, very well explained. Thank you.
best video I've seen on the topic to date, thank you!
Excellent vid, as usual. Thanks!
Never thought of weighing rope down with throw bags. Thanks.
Killer video man! Have been lookin for a good explanation of this technique. Thanks! I subscribed. Keep em comin!
Best video on srt in my opinion, you take the time to explain well and not rush everything. Thanks
Love your videos Patrick. Very informative. I’ve haven’t done any of this stuff yet, but I’m slowly buying stuff to try this out on my own. Looks like fun.
Great vid! Love it!
keep em coming!!! great stuff
Awesome video Patrick thanks so much for your time and expertise!!
Is there a video showing the friction hitch etc? Thanks 🙏🏻
Nicely explained. Thanks!
See I was wondering about weighing down the rope or something. This is the first video ive found that actually addresses that thank you
Finally a video for beginners...Thanks!
Awesome tutorial! Cheers from Australia just subbed.nice work love it!🙂👍👍👍
Great video. Very clear instruction... Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Luv your video and all the clear explanation to how to ropewalk.I will be trying this method soon. I rec. climb in my backyard. Have watched many of your videos and learned much from you.
The most important thing is safety. You need also to trust your equipment as well. I always check over before I climb. Remember,low and slow when learning and safety first.Thankyou for putting out your videoes and stay safe out there.
one of the best demos thanks
Great video!
It was amazing. I did not think that climbing is as easy as you shown. Thanks for sharing this skill.
great video - thanks. very useful.
Great demo. Cheers
Best video about RW on SRT ever ... Thx !
Right on Patrick. I set my line closer too. If its a long climb, its nice to stop and not be twirling around while I catch my breath. Your methods are very useful, thank you for each and all. George.
Simple, clear, step by step, calm and well demonstrated. Awesome teaching I reckon! looking forward to more videos!
I like your humble way to show. Nothing like ' I am the best nor my way or the high way'. Solid professional.
Thanks man! - Patrick
Really well done Patrick, simple clear explanation, and nice job with the camera shots. I like where your filming style is going, it helps get the material across clearly.
Thanks Joel! Loved your last vid as well. I have learned so much about filming and editing this year, I think it's finally starting to come out... - Patrick
Best tutorial. Plain and simple.
Excellent !!
Good job on teaching your climing technique.
Good man sharing all this for the SRT rookies like myself
Awesome bro!!!
Outstanding presentation, quality, clarity, brevity. thenkyewveddymuch.
Thanks again!
Thank you, God bless you and yours
Same to you brother!
Glad I found this video. That whole little system set up you have there is really nice I'm definitely putting that on the list when my ship comes in ...so far iv been able to pick up equipment here and there ofcourse used.. but good working and operational... That will save much needed energy for my partner. I can tell alot of the time on really big tall trees . He's gets tired just a lil bit faster than usual. It will save his arms... Well
Thanks for the instruction. You're a good teacher
Glad it was helpful! - Patrick
Very helpful thank you
Thank you for sharing so many useful tips...
My pleasure 😊 - Patrick
Just learned this technique today, it’s neat as hell
Realy nice system.
Very good background very good recording very good demonstration of a system: to know is to be able to teach has been said
I love it !
Good explanation for beginners
Great vid thanx.
A clear and admirably well thought-through explanation with minimum but sufficient words - I like this approach very much. You asked for feedback on the music Patrick : I don't like it, I'm sorry to say, and it's not a question of whether your and my tastes happen to coincide. Music's an irrelevance and a potential distraction, and those who have a need for it to retain their attention probably have problems with concentration. There's research in psychology that shows that people retain less of what is spoken into one ear when other sounds are fed into the other at low-moderate volume. This anti-learning effect is weakened (but not removed) if the sounds are very familiar or are repetitive (since the brain can more easily ignore them). My last two sentences might at first sight seem contradictory, but are not because of the difference between attention and retention. You can pay attention to what someone is saying, and hold onto none of it.
Love your videos Brother I’m really learning a lot from them. Climb safe and GOD Bless. 🙏😇
Thanks brother, really appreciate it. God bless........ - Patrick
Good basic video for a newbie like myself. Thanks for your efforts as without such videos, I'd have a much more difficult time trying to learn to climb the right way. I've made some different gear choices so it will be interesting to give it all a try when it comes in. Should be a fun summer...learning the basics on a tree next to my house. That and teaching my boy along the way. I'm a rigging engineer in real life and it is interesting to see more synthetic rope even at my job. Dyneema, Spectra etc....pretty cool stuff.
Hi Patrick.. Thank you for your knowledge. I wish I was much much younger so that I could start this profession and apply this knowledge.
Greetings from Malaysia.
Morning.. Thanks so much.. Really helpful for a newby like me👍
Love your videos!
Thank you!
Gracias 🙏🏻
Good job, safe climbing
très clair et très pédagogue. Bravo.
Rope walking basics means the basics! Show how to set up the rope and the climbing system.
I would really like to get a better look at the prussic and pulley you used here, everything else was well explained
Great explanation! I think I've got it!
@@TreeMuggs_PatrickM Great to know! ha, because on my main practice tree, the main/only place to put my tie-in is in branch unions right at the trunk.
Bad ass video like always!!!
THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL ON ROPEWALKING IVE EVER SEEN ! CLEAR CONCISE CLOSEUP FOOTAGE OF ALL THE KEY COMPONENTS.IF YOUR LOOKING TO GET INTO THIS ENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNIQUE, I'D GO WITH PATRICKS VID.FOR SOME OF US W OUT THE ROPEWRENCH (I WANT ONE) OR KNEE ASCENDER (I WANT ONE) THERE ARE WAYS TO BE CREATIVE W GEAR YOU ALREADY OWN.
Great video. I’m searching for SRT simplicity. I’ve got a Petzl Zig Zag Plus and 11.7mm Tropical Ivy. Can you suggest which foot and knee ascender , chest harness and Croll, would be good for a new guy. I’m not going into the business, just learning how to safely get into my Douglas firs for pruning. Your videos have been a great help. Thanks.
Зачёт! Очень важная информация для начинающих!
There are much simpler techniques requiring less gear and less energy output. The best system I found is using a single jumar/ascender, a grigri, one pulley, and one aider. You attach your jumar/ascender high on the rope with a pulley attached to the jumar. The rope below the ascender goes through your grigri and back up through the pulley and down to your left hand. You extend your right hand/jumar high up the rope with your right foot pushing on a step in your aider while at the same time pulling down on the rope running through your pulley system......using the pulley system gives you a two-to-one ratio thus you expend little energy. I use this technique when photographing rock climbers or when I need to ascend a free-hanging rope on a big wall climb. Very simple, fast and requires no tricky coordinated movement - I find foot ascenders to be a hassle, and having to pull down with both hands with nothing but the rope to grip is one big drag to say the least.
Nov 2021 now - is this still yr preferred personal way of accessing a tall tree - appreciate yr videos, thanks
Muito bom video muito bom mesmo parabens
thanx bro.
Good!
Excellent video! I enjoy srt for access but i have not developed a style for working the canopy. I end up with an ascender and rollclip above my hitchhiker so that i can pull to take up slack like ddrt. Going up and down a lot during a climb is my biggest hurdle so far. Thanks and Be Well
Thanks brother. I rock the HHX as well, I just thought it would be confusing to use it in this video because it has no spot to clip the chest tether to. I just clip it to my bridge ring. But most other systems have somewhere that you can clip to. For short in-tree ascents, I climb the tree as much as possible and just take up slack manually, rather than climbing the rope. If I have to ascend the rope a short distance, I will just use my foot ascender and hump up quick without using the knee ascender or chest tether...
troytreeguy I’m the same. I love SRT for access but have not managed to alter my working patterns for it yet.
Great video!! Just stumbled into rope walking. I rock climb and I came across this video randomly but how did you get the rope up the in the first place? Lol
Would you make a video on prusik diameter relation to climbing line diameter? My hitches sometimes “float” on my rope so I always have to mind them. I see you only have 4 wraps in your Distel and it works great!
Is it distel or michoacan? Preference??
Sick.
if you wear full body harness it's gonna make every attachment easier to placed, plus, when you need to be rescued for some reason, every sequence would be in controlled manner. Just a thought
I’m also curious how rope bridges work.. just some rope with two double fishermen’s at the ends? I usually strap with a girth hitch to the webbing on my harness’ waist, in between the buckles because I sit more upright than the rings closer the the legs. I’m still scrambling to figure so much out while working haha
Hi can you teach your system how you tied it and what gears are used? do you use the same technique when climbing rocks?
I’m making the transition to srt next week, been reading/studying it and contemplating doing it for the last year or so, I can’t wait to move over to single line, il be starting with just a foot ascender and step up to knee ascender.
Best of luck to you! btw, it's really, really tough to ascend with just one ascender on a single leg of line... - Patrick
EducatedClimber yeh I have given one ascender some thought was wondering if a strop connected to the spare hole on my zigzag would help me step up with the foot ascender? Not seen it done but in my mind it works 😆 tbh il probly end up adding a knee ascender into the system.
always have trouble feeling like I'm falling back having to pull myself up to the main line seems tough
Nice job! Tnx. So far I've been able to leave both ascenders attached to my feet while working the tree... Not sayin' best, just one step less.
Yes, I have been experimenting with this as well. You using a SAKA? - Patrick
Great bare bones instructions
I was looking for ways to climb a sailboat mast solo, this is probably the most elegant method out of all the methods I've seen. I'm surprised there isn't more knowledge transfer between climbers, arborists, and riggers.
Knowledge transfer between different rope access disciplines could be more, that's for sure. Thanks for watching! - Patrick
I've made an Ascender out of 2 grabs and it works relatively okay
Nice! - Patrick
Can u talk about wherr and what it a suitable anchor point tho..
Amazing. Now I know more than ever about single rope, and understand the system for the first time. Good job. And I thank you!
I am a bit of a book worm including arbor subjects. Is it relating to this that you say Read More?
👏
And then when you have production trimming in a mature live oak that is wider than it is tall that hasn't been trimmed for ten years or more, ddrt comes back into practical use.
What do you think about skipping all the metal hardware and just using prussiks?
👍
How do u connect the knee accender or to what from foot to saddle or accender
I think there will always be s place for ddrt. Primarily because it creates a 2:1 mechanical advantage with minimal gear. But also because it gives you 100% confidence in anchor.
There will always be a place for doubled rope technique! - Patrick
I hit hard the trunk. I can’t find a good branch away without get through the leaves. The lesson has been learnt. It’s really scared of me when I try descending without a rope wrench. It’s easy to get up but down. It’s really stuck up there. I will fight for SRT later, LoL. DRT is more comfortable.
Finally, SRT is the best with all gears on. Thanks for your education that taught me well. I tried 3 times to get used it and not to be afraid of it. I’m be able to move more than DRT a lots. It’s agility.
👍🏼👍🏼
جالب عالی بود
Question, do I need right and left foot ascender or right or left foot ascender and a knee ascender? Which rope is the best and safe?
How do you initially get the rope into the tree
