Greetings,
I just received a _link_ to some photos of last weekends class held @ the Founders Grove. I had 2 students for the I.B.C. and one stayed for a couple of extra days to learn SRT and Rigging for Tree Top Camping.
Enjoy.

Adventure-UP!!

Hey Tengu, nice to see your pictures. and good to see J.B climb. I'm good in Taiwan, last week I climb 4 giant spruce trees for Mr.Tzai for his research. It always makes me happy when I see you are on tree top. 4 Years, 8 Months ago

What did you use for descending on SRT?

Was the SRT line anchored at the bottom of the tree or choked on the limb?

Greetings Tom,
The SRT class is an 8 hour day of climbing with a variety of different single rope techs. and descending with a variety of different tools.
The anchor is "choked off" on the climb with the photos.
For descending tools we use the rack, figure 8,petzl pirahna, munter hitch, grigri,petzl stop etc..

Hope to see you in Nebraska this Sept. not a far drive from the cities.

Adventure-UP!!

What was the rap tool of preference at the end of the day?

The climb is on the calendar. That might be the weekend of the MN Tree Climbing Championships so I would have an emotional conflict to settle

After trying out different rap. tools, about 90% of the students perfer a grigri with the rack coming in 2nd.
They are climbing on Fly rope and the max height on the climb is about
22 meters.
