Too many things do not point to pros, in addition to other things listed-No long pants, the harnesses do not look like a rescue organizations type of gear, and how many photographers do they need?

Hi Aussie
Nice diagram. Just wondering do you use static ropes for the tyrolean and back up lines or do you like a little stretch?
How long does this system take to set up?
It looks like climbing both trees and the whole rig would take alot of time?
Cheers

Hey ziontree

I use a BlueWater II + for the main line. For the Back up line I use a semi static rope (can't remember the manufacturer)
Depending whether I have a groundie with me changes the time a bit, but last time I set it up solo as I remember it took about 2.5 + hours of solid non stop climbing and knotting. Yeah it takes a fair amount of time but I enjoy both the setting up and use of the traverse. Time isn't really an issue as I only begin to set this up if i have a whole day of climbing.
