Here is my setup for a normal work climb:



From center clockwise:

A.R.T Spiderjack on \"Swivel\"
Friction Saver with Pulley for DRT
Silky Saw
Figure 8 with Freino Carabiner (for Rescue)
Express Sling with Carabiners (Rescue)
Double Pulley for redirect DRT
First Aid Pack
Short Rope for Prusik...
Grigri
some Web Slings
A.R.T Lanyard/Flipline
Ascension, Croll and Pantin Foot Ascender for SRT

Not shown: simple Chestharnes for Rescue, small bag for Drink/Food

Thats what I use for a working day climbing.
For a recreational climb it is almost the same setup, just no or a smaller saw.

Woodjob, that's a nice lookin set up.
I\"m very curious of your opinion of the spyderjack. I am familiar with the Poitioner, which I am using on a 25' lanyard now. How does it differ in feel touchiness etc... compared to the positioner, or compared to a well adjusted VT with micropully setup?

This should go under another topic I think, Spyderjack opinions seem to be hard to come by.

Woodjob, I like the way you have your webbing wound up neatly. Whats the procedure for ding it?

I´m climbing the Spider since april 07 and this is one piece making my daily work in the trees much easier. I like it a lot but the Spider needs propper training in the beginning, to get used to. It is verry sensitive up and down and does not work well with some ropes. I made the experience that for me soft ropes work better than stiffer ones. A great tool for intermediate climbers who climb a lot.

If you like your Positioner you will love the Spider.

The procedure ist simple, but hard to tell (or my english is just not good enough:( ). I will try to make some photos at the weekend to show how it´s done. Maybe this is easier ;)
