Kate Odell, CTSP, Apical Arboriculture
Though every climb is different and calls for different approaches and techniques, in this presentation, Kate will demonstrate her preferred climbing system, that can seamlessly and safety transition an SRS (Single/Stationary Rope System) accent system into an MRS (Moving Rope System) working system. Using minimal gear and a climbing system that is suitable for both SRS and MRS, you will learn how to build a system that can, after an SRS accent, be converted into an MRS system in mere seconds, without ever disconnecting from your main climbing line.
