JRB Climbing Method: Optimal System Geometry
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 10. 2022
- The JRB Stationary Doubled Rope Climbing System provides multiple points of attachment for the climber to the climbing ropes, ensuring that even if a catastrophic failure of a friction hitch occurred, the climber is safely attached to the rope and can initiate a repair and self-recover. This video describes the optimal geometry and demonstrates how it enables and efficient climb.

Could you do a explanation of ropes for saddle hunting purposes
What standards to look for
What terms are applicable
Difference between 12 strand and 24 strand and their best applications
You deserve an award! Quick question: I've heard the Munter hitch can tend to create twisting on the rope. Do you alternate the direction you coil it to avoid issues with this? You mention the Super Munter in other videos, and I've heard it cancels the twisting effect....with more friction as you point out, so it may be more interesting for heavier climbers (or when the rope is wet/icy/very slippery). I'm a lightweight. I'm also a novice, but have family members who are professional guides (but live in other countries). So I'm asking a fellow hunter and possibly history making innovator ;-) Perhaps for those not heavy enough to be able to use a Super Munter or even half Munter, the coiling tendency is negligible anyhow? UPDATE: I see you address this in your video on rappelling with the Munter, for both one and two rope decents (different videos). You say that the twisting is negligible. I assume this is largely based on going slowly, which is safer and better for the rope anyhow. So I'll assume using alternating coil directions is unnecessary. Thanks again for all your excellent content.
I have two rappel videos on the munter on a doubled rope and a single rope. This is the latter. The spin will be neutralized by feeding the rope in from above. And thanks!

Appreciate the review and instruction greatly, had a couple of hunting climbs over the weekend bow hunting, I personally like keeping my loops off my hitches to bridge rather short, six inches or so, (like my bridge long and raise my knee pretty high) and use tube webbing for my best friend, also enjoy having a JRB cinch setup along for the climb to provide repositioning around on the tree, The crotch I wind up climbing off is not always advantageous , The cinch allows me to move any where on the tree I need to be. I do have my garda and best friend just like you recommend. My only improvement would be that my hitches are a bit difficult to shove up, no problem rappelling. I always loosen them up a bit before the climb , any suggestions (using 8 mm tuefelberger resc tech with 6 mm Sterling accessory cord, 5-2-3 hitch) Feel very safe with this system and it’s really a Lot of fun having such an effective, safe and variable methodology, no deer yet it’s really dry like drought down here in Mississippi
Sterling 7mm cord also works with 8mm ropes, and is effortless to work with. Not all 7mm cords will bend around 8mm
1. The best friend of tubular webbing is a concern... how did you connect it to the Carabiner-like? It must cinch and deliver load on opposite sides of the Carabiner pair. I have never tried making a clove hitch with webbing. But you cannot simply have a loop which doesn't cinch.
2. To my knowledge, Sterling 6mm cord is not recommended for life safety applications. But 7mm Sterling is and it does work on 8mm ropes.
@@jrbtc my redundant web bridge has Sewn loops and girth hitches
on both sides of the saddle with D rings and an adjustable austrialpine block slide type buckle in the middle,. The best friend web loop is tied with a water knot and just clip the garda carabiners through it, but I have tied it in with a girth hitch being sure that both sides are equal when dressing out the knot, considering the strength of tube web seems that just floating the best friend loop through the garda carabiner pair would slip to perfectly take load equally on both sides ? I see that a hitch would prevent any entanglement though
@@jrbtc the 6 mm is rated at 1900 lb load and got prusiks
@@kennethrogers1129 It's your responsibility to test your own modifications or experiments. In my testing, it's necessary for whatever mechanism which is applying load on the Garda to both cinch it and deliver load on opposite sides of the two carabiners. This is what has led to my recommended design of my Bull Hitch variant for webbing and a clove hitch for cord. Using something else could affect its reliability.
So, using the system shown you’ll bowhunt with ? Or without a platform? Thanks
Coincidentally, after 15 years of rope climbing, i just tried a platform for the 1st time this week. It's necessary to have something for positioning, but i generally seek out trees like the one in this video and at the end, I demonstrate how I use the branch for positioning. I find a branch advantageous over a platform, but obviously, if we don't have a branch, a platform or something similar would be necessary. I realize that not all forests have the same types of trees.

Is there a possibility that the dangling ropes spook deer while hunting?
It's an excellent point and the answer is yes, and that is true for any rope climbing method. As soon as i am settled in a hunting position, the last thing i do is draw up my rope and drape it in a tree crotch or over a platform or form a Saddle Hunters Hitch with one end and put the folds of rope inside of it. I could tell you some hunting stories about learning this lesson the hard way... if we had time and a beer!
@@jrbtc sounds like a good time!
