I had a first-time climber burst into song the other day while sitting in the tree. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did:

That's awesome. How do you have her rigged in? Her up rope and split tail are a different rope than her down rope?

It's called a Super System, 3:1 MA DRT system that can be installed and deinstalled from the ground. The \"up rope\" and bridge/split tail are one length of rope separate from the main climbing rope.

Here's what the top looks like


Here's what the bottom looks like

It's a decent system, the main flaw is that the upper pulley tends to creep down during ascent. I had to temporarily switch the climber over to another system and move the pulley back up to the top so they could continue climbing.

I would have been impressed even if she was still on the ground! Great Job!
