Two different forms of stationary rope technique used by arborists. In blue on the left is a stationary rope tied to the bottom of a tree. In red on the right is a stationary rope attached at the top of a tree using the pull-through technique.

Any form of SRT used by arborists, of which there are several variations, where the rope does not move while prusiking. This means all except the most common form of doubled rope technique. The rope could have one end tied to the bottom of the tree as a natural, and looped over a high branch, allowing the other end to be used like a standard SRT rope. It could be used as a standard pull-through over a branch. It could also be tied at the top of the tree and used as a standard SRT rope, though it is very hard to retrieve that way, so this approach is generally not used.
