Single-rope technique
Climbing technique where a single rope is used to ascend and descend safely
Single-rope technique (SRT) is a set of methods used to ascend and descend a single fixed rope length, commonly used in caving, rock climbing, canyoning, roped access for building maintenance, and by arborists for tree climbing. To avoid confusion in the tree climbing community, it is occasionally referred to as "stationary" rope technique.
From Wikipedia
Single-rope technique (SRT) is a set of methods used to ascend and descend a single fixed rope length, commonly used in caving, rock climbing, canyoning, roped access for building maintenance, and by arborists for tree climbing. To avoid confusion in the tree climbing community, it is occasionally referred to as "stationary" rope technique. Single-rope techniques are used in contrast to double-rope techniques (DRT), also known as the moving-rope techniques.
