I know some climbers who've done a lot of Koala capture work, chasing them through multiple tree tops all day. They use a alloy hook on a rope. Its pretty big dia on the hook end and a bit smaller on the other, kinda like a "S".
You can clip it on or off your climb line, or use a secondary line, or you rigging line to get you across a distant spreading canopy or other tree very quickly. Seen it in action and is very effective. |
