Dynamic energy in arborist ropes

One of the most misunderstood aspects of rope selection is the disconnect between breaking strength and a ropes ability to absorb dynamic loads. Many people wrongly assume that the stronger a rope’s rating the harder it is to break. That is not the case as a rope can be parted if called upon to
carry a load greater than its breaking strength or, if asked to absorb a dynamic load greater than its energy absorption capability. Everyone is used to talking about a rope’s breaking strength but almost no one describes a rope’s energy absorption capability. This is obtained by studying a stress strain curve of load vs. elongation. The area described under the stress strain curve pertains to force acting through distance (or the work required to break it).

Arb Climber – At last, a magazine specifically for climbing arborists and riggers.

Preview Issue 1
ArbClimber combines 20 years of equipment testing, reviews and rope rescue/access/rigging techniques as presented in Technical Rescue magazine (www.trescue.com) with our strong ties to the arb world as regular grunts and adds in some current legends of the industry from the likes of Sherrill Tree, Chris Cowell of Treemagineers and World Champion Tree Climber (and working arborist) Josephine Hedger. We'll have plenty of other expert input from the US, Canada, UK, New Zealand and Australia so you can be sure to get the full technical picture.
Arb Climber has Gear Reviews, Market Guides to entire product ranges, test & research articles, techniques articles, all the latest gear and loads of great pictures and graphics. We have a down-to-earth style and even though much of the rope work and rigging in arboriculture now surpasses even rescue in its complexity we'll be providing some well-grounded basic articles to compensate for the really technical ones. So whether you are just starting out or are already top of the tree, Arb Climber should give you plenty of food for thought.

wicked treemedia

A big variety of images on trees, forest and lanscapes are available, while photos of people working in trees as arborists or tree climbers are difficult to find.
Kay Busemann captured dynamic moments of people executing this risky profession in their daily working environment. Images are taken at arborist conferences or tree climbing championships.
