do any of you guys pull a false crotch setup up to the crotch? use a micro pulley instead of dragging the rope over the crotch in hip thrust drt climbing? and if so, do you use a micro pulley? or block? or standard pulley?
That sounds like a slick system Shaun. Is this similar to the pulley you are talking about?

I usually tie into a false crotch for removals because the friction stays consistent even when you move around the trunk because as you move around the trunk the sling will wrap and not your rope. On prunes I usually just use a natural crotch and re tie in often.
I have just been using a natural crotch unless it doesn't exist. I get if you went into a free fall on a pulley, your not gonna have time to grab the rope. I was considering the pulley so my ground guy could help me up the tree. I do a lot of work where its all rope. no spikes. I've tried foot loops and its just not worth it. I am thinkin about setting my rope, tying in and climbing a ladder as high as I feel it can be set safe. anyone use ladders? I mean, hip thrusting 40 feet vs walking up a ladder 20 feet then hip thrusting, the ladder sounds pretty nice.

I don't mind getting to a final tie in via drt but I don't usually leave the tree until its done because I hate humping back up.
