How to Foot Lock climb a tree

So do I need two ropes?

actually interesting content, but I hate the music-furting on us.

If I wonna listen to music, I turn the radio on or something else.

very inpolite this music shit while speaking! 😢

Very well done video. I’m missing the reason you do a static line and foot lock and then pull up the double rope system. Why not install the double rope from the get go? I know there must be a reason but I need enlightenment. Thanks.

Clever. I'll have to practice that

Howdy, I'm an old school climber; 62 that has done pretty much everything including crane work. This is about the best video I've seen on secured footlocking. Good for you showing climbing without the crutch of ascenders.

Love your video. Excellent bro.

This changes Everything!

I could watch this 100X and still learn absolutely nothing.

So the system we use at work is a hitch climber system eye to eye. DRT. And I have a job I have to do that has a tie point just like that floating on a cottonwood. But I'm pretty sure we aren't allowed to use footlock and no extra mechanical means. 😢
I mean, it seems doable but it also seems like it's going to be one heck of a mission body thrusting up 60ft floating.

didn't get a F#$%^&*( thing from this !!

Not realistic. Where are your heavy tools? What is the rope hitched to at the top? P.S. Great system.

I watched 4 videos before yours and you nailed it thanks

I don't understand why a monkey needs ropes? All monkeys climb palm trees without them

Wow. Pretty sure you’ve done that a time or two. Subscribed!

Neck elastic looks more like a hangman’s noose…. There should be a safer way such as an underarm elastic or safety ranger rappel harness from Paracord… What’s your thoughts on this?

Wouldn't it have been easier to remove and lower the second climbing system you brought up and tied into your foot locking prusik the same way you brought it up, while you were in the tree then rappel down the original 2 ropes with a figure 8 or some other descender?

Confusing😅😮 why not a footlocking prusik for each foot?

Thank you so much don’t let it As snow the technic😊

Still abit confused why you can’t just foot lock without that foot locking line ? I footlock drt and It definitely saves me having to use that extra rope ypur using

I've only climbed DRT so far and of course have done foot locking. Also I looking to start SRT in the near future. This here though is almost its own style of climbing, I've never seen it done like this before! Really cool informative video I'll have to try it out sometime. Big fan of Reecoil!
