Best Spar pole tie-in options - Industry best practice
In this video we demonstrate what are deemed industry best practices for a climbing arborist to be secured to a spar pole when blocking/chogging down the trunk with no option for an overhead tie-in point. In this video we demonstrate options for a moving rope system (MRS) main line tie off, and a stationary rope system (SRS) main line tie-in, both methods must also be accompanied by a second point of attachment which is most commonly a lanyard or flip line, but can also be a second full length climbing rope system.
The 'American National Standards' for Arboricultural operations (ANZI Z133) Section 8.1.27 states;
Arborists working from a stem or spar without a suitable natural crotch shall selective-in points or a tie-in method that positively prevents the climbing line from sliding down or up or off the stem during climbing operations. Placing a climbing line around a stem in an area without a lateral limb is not acceptable unless the climbing line is cinched or chocked around the stem or runs through a double wrapped or adjustable false crotch, which is secured/cinched around the stem. The tie-in point selected shall be able to withstand the forces being applied during the pruning/removal operation.
