Climbed this in the sun this afternoon…
On setting up I learned two things: 1) My big shot will just shoot a 14oz bag to the highest point my throwline will go over and still reach the ground. 2) My throwline is exactly the same length as my rope. Thus, my rig looked like this as I clipped in…..
After that, though it was just a lovely ascent through the void… well, through the holly bush and creepers mucking up the bottom of the tree, and the many pine cones wanting to get into my t-shirt.
Too many limbs! And too many little pinch-point throwline-traps - one of which we found. Then just throwing turned out to be problematic as the bag kept bouncing into the TOO MANY limbs! Once up, just navigating a route is a challenge. But at the top - mmm-hmm - sunny views!
Shamefully late to the PMJ party…
