Hey everyone,
So Ive recently started climbing for removals and I'm starting to get a lot more comfortable (good boots made a huge difference). I've been learning a lot through my own exhaustion (via sweat) and getting pointers along the way from...well people like you! Thanks Everyone!!!
I want to start incorporating a climbing line while I spike up, I've gaffed out a few times and its scary AF. I am seeking advice for a decent equipment setup and some brief instruction? I am interested in getting the new Zigzag Plus or a Unicender.
If I enter the canopy via a SRT system should I transition DdRT system? Can I just tie a running bowline onto the stem and advance with my flip line? Any advice with redirects? Is using a climbing line while I advance with spikes safer? Thanks for the help!
