Good luck to Kiah Martin and Grant Cody, who are representing Australia in today’s International Tree Climbing Competition. Word from the States is that the preliminaries on Saturday were rained off, forcing the whole competition into a one-day format on the Sunday. Results will be posted here as soon as they are available.
In better news, the first revisions of the popular handouts from the recent workshop are now up online.
The PDF on Single Rope Technique now features the RAD system (pictured to the right).
Introduction to Redirects has been updated to include Tom Oldmeadow’s In-Line Retrievable Redirect (see below.)
Perhaps the biggest revision has been to Working the Angles, which has been updated with a new appendix showing graphs of the various relationships described in the text: much easier to work with on a job site than a complicated equation!
The VTIO would also like to announce that the next workshop in this series will be on Visual Tree Assessment. Date and details are still to be finalised, but keep watching this space!
