Why Throwline manipulation is still a valid skill w/ SRT/STS TREE CLIMBING

Seems that in past years of recent, the idea and skill set of throw line manipulation has become less of a focus for upcoming Tree Climber‘s. Even some tree climbers that have decades of experience have kind of abandoned throw line manipulation techniques. SRS/SRT tree climbing typically doesn’t absolutely require the singling out of a specific or singular branch union or crotch. However, recently, while I was watching a colleague of mine, try to set his line, I realized that we might be working a little too hard, trying to constantly reset our line win with the mindset of using throw line manipulation. We might be able to just get a decent union with the first throw. This episode talks about some of the reasons why I feel this way  And some tips that might help you with your throw line manipulation, ideas and skills.
