Setting Climbing Line with Retrieval Side First Eight min or so video of some climbing this weekend.
00:01 Key components, 100’ line and 100’ retrieval with sewn eyes at each end.
00:28 Importance of non-stretch retrieval cord.
00:48 Two HHx, one with swivel and the other for simple bridge attachment and 12oz throw bag.
02:01 Tip, girth the throw bag to isolate simple things.
02:48 In this case the retrieval line goes up first and use of the running Alpine Butterfly makes it happen. Using the small CI 4kN carabiner are indispensable for this.
04:04 Tying the running AB. The preliminary anchor is set without hardware.
05:04 Using the latch-less SAKA-mini-MAX, easy one handed on and off the rope.
05:27 Swapping out the preliminary anchor with hardware to facilitate easy relocation.
06:16 I store the Midlline Attachable Rope and Cambium saver on the tail of my lanyard.
06:31 In this case I’ll set a mCAT, or what some refer to as a Moving Rope System or dDRT.
07:00 mCAT will not get us to the ground with ’75 foot anchor, so switch to back to RAT or as some call SRT or non-moving rope system.
07:17 Setting my additional friction for smooth descent and reduced friction hitch wear.
07:42 Notice dragging the tail adds friction so I’ll adjust the on-the-fly-additional friction to accommodate.
08:08 storage.
