SRT & Garda Hitch, Four Recovery Scenarios
Vložit

- The failure or slippage of a friction hitch will engage the redundancy that is built into the JRB Garda Hitch Footloop via the "Best Friend" loop and redundant bridge. This video demonstrates how recovery can be accomplished in four scenarios. Related Videos:

3&4 are exactly what happened to me John and I was very inexperienced climbing and exactly like you explained sequence of wrong events caused it, and now panic due to disabilities and severe pain,I was fortunate that I was low to the ground and at my residence plus I had a ladder just in case something went wrong to be able to get myself out of trouble. I do know that if that had occurred at height and in the woods I was up a shits creek w/o a paddle. I have been practicing and even enjoy climbing safely now that I have been using all the tools you have provided and know that I can get myself out of these situations . Thank you sir for everything you do and I appreciate everything you are doing. I’m sure by now you have probably saved a few lives already. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate the comment and perspective given your experience. If you would like to provide any additional details about what went wrong in your climb, feel free to use the Contact page on the website and I will reply privately via email.

Very clearly thought out and easy to follow...really appreciate your commitment to safety.
And I appreciate your comment and support.
I used your double bridge system last year with best friend and munter hitch and was very happy with the way it worked. Had a 523 that was easing it self down one hunt and tied in a heddon to take up my weight and then reworked the 523 and got back into it. The double adjustable bridge is the best thing since sliced bread.
Dig those boots bro
Man i love your Videos! You are a great Teacher!
I am doing my best. This video was done with no retakes and no script. I think about what the scenarios should be and then I just go. The 4th scenario is not something I ever rehearse... I just know it's possible.
@@jrbtc Hey John! You're doing an amazing job. The way you tie all those knots and hitches, and the clever combinations you come up with, are mind-blowing to me. I haven't seen anything like it anywhere else. It's super motivating and has given me a confidence boost I never thought I’d get. I hope you can keep doing this for a long time, and I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge! This is awesome. Best wishes, Simon.
@@Simon-80 Thanks!!
10:14 I have done the same but for different reasons 🤣I like to use accessory cord for my prusiks, they are so cheap that I will gladly replace them and I have them color coded for different purposes because there are so many options for colors. And when it comes to soft material it's better to replace them too often than too seldom.
Color codes are a great way to record the age of the cordage as well.
I’ve had a hitch slip - seems like it was a new new rope and/or loose /incorrect tie, never turned into a problem as I just stood in the footloop and pinched the bridge ascender hitch I seem to recall, but I certainly do recognize the danger potential, gave me a bit of a scare! In hitch climbing with “permanent” or previously tied hitches; I use two footloops, one on each end of the rope ; if there was a malfunction, a climber could either throw on a garda (always have one handy!) or bring up the other end of the climbing rope. And now that you , John, have discussed a climber’s BEST FRIEND a few times , it comes to mind the enhanced safety possibly gained with a Best Friend on both bridges in hitch climbing for use in transitions , although with a long pole often I cinch my rope only once. A good hunt is a safe hunt ., one slip can ruin it all.. I like having pretied footloops, but I could remove them; reducing the bulk of my rig, as I’m using 11mm rope with 9mm cord; and use one garda. The Best friend would negate dropping it in transition. Thanks for the food for thought, always tweeking for safety and improvement.
Yes, in recent hitch climbing systems, I also used dedicated footloops on each side. In future hitch climbing, I will use the Garda with the transformation loop, but I wanted to publish THIS video first.
I've been caught in something similar to situation 4 while rappelling. I made a loop on my tether with an overhand knot and used it as a foot loop while I worked the carabiners loose
As much as I think about all these scenarios, I'm sure there's some that we can't anticipate. But we can use our experience and our spare supplies to get out of just about any situation
👍👍
great video!!! so when will you have your video of the new zenith hitch? I think you mentioned that before.
When i am finished testing. I take this stuff seriously, and there's a lot of different testing that has to happen on different ropes and cord combinations, strength testing, wet testing, diameters, etc. Also, that conversation should be limited to the private Facebook group, not this public location, ok? I will remove the comment after you reply.
