What might that other site be? I will probably go out and buy some srt toys soon but maybe I will give it another chance first

yeah I know Is there a better place for it? it didn't seem like it should be a thread

If someone had it and didn't use them, A grigri and a ascender would be sweet

Come on now, something of about equal value. Unless that foot ascender is solid gold?? I suppose I wouldn't climb on it then anyway

I bought a 600 foot spool of Blaze and am only going to use half and was going to store the rest for later. If someone was interested I would consider trading a hank for some Ascenders or gear to climb SRT though. I would also considering trading a hank for a hank 1/2" climb line if it was...

That sounds good. Is there better approach to climb this srt? It seems like your rope could go higher using srt because it is not doubled up. Just trying to figure out options here. Thanks the help

Well tried climbing yesterday. It was fun. I used spikes and went up a 2' diameter redwood and tied in about 30 feet up and descended Dbrt. Now that understand it better Dbrt is a easy set up it seems. I am going to attach a few pictures of trees Id like to clean up. Would Dbrt ascending be...

Thank you for explanations. I really would like to learn the right way. People always say we are behind the redwood curtain here because we are always behind on times. maybe that is why everyone spurs everything still. When the property was new to us we hired a professional to top some trees...

Thanks fellas. Did some asking around and got someone to let me barrow a flipline for a short time. I am not going to try this by myself I will have someone there teaching me. Now Maybe you guys can clarify why you are advising against spur climbing. Not at all am I disagreeing I am just...

Checked out wesspur. The manila rope I found said steel core is that the one you you are referring to?

Hey cool thanks. What type of rope works good for that? I think I saw a pre-made lanyard made of Dacron 3 strand

I suppose I do not need to prune the whole 20 acres. I am trying to clean up the forest to make it more usable and allow more light in. There are a lot of dead branches on the trees that I would like to cut off and also limb the branches up from the bottom. I have done lots of work with...

Thanks for the info no worries about the sarcasm. I am fairly sure that the redwoods will not be chronically damaged by spurs. I cannot kill them even when I try. Both of the friends who will help have never climbed without spurs. They take a rope up and use it to descend but always...

I Hope this topic is not beaten to death already, But I searched and couldn't find the answers I was looking for. I Have not been in a tree yet but am trying to get a set up to prune and limb up trees on my property. I have two experienced climbers willing to teach me spur climbing. One...

The 3/4 x 18 is one of those yale maxi lines i think. I havent bought any gear yet I am waiting for tax returns and they seem to be taking their sweet time with giving mine to me. I am going to get a 1/2" kit from wespur when I put the order in i think. thanks for all the info guys it all helps

Lostcoastland thanks for the info. When you say get the longest spurs you can find, Do you think that the climb right tree climbers with 2 5/8" spurs is long enough? A steel core flipline is what i am after. have you had good luck with the 1/2? or is it worth the extra 10 bucks for a 5/8? I...

I will look into the srt. they guy teaching me is a spur guy only. our redwoods are normal height for a 2-3 foot redwood. I don't know exact height. our few bigger ones that would be tall have all had the tops blown out at one time so they are not as tall as they could be. You could...

imagineero, Thanks thats what I was looking for. Reading around this forum I see a lot of people say butt straps are the way to go and much more comfortable but the guy helping me out says he hates them and leg straps are the way to go. Does anyone have experience with the new climb right...

Yeah I drink beer. Is that allowed on AS?

They can get big. Don't you have redwoods in the upper left hand corner of California?
