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?

Psithurism - the sound of the wind rustling the leaves.

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.
