The issue is what you lose on the friction you gain on more time and more gear to lug around and the cost of this redirect is stupid expensive. A karabiner and sling work perfectly fine and cost is very low. Why complicate things?
Cheers mate. The hardware reside was my main concern as it’s not something we’d normally see in a typical rope inspection but moreover on our rope bridges. Very well done. Thank you for your time..
Slick set up! I've always just ran the pinto alone like you first had, except I use the spacer which can free spin and act as a pulley. Usually run true 1/2" lines for MRS and have yet to get pinched in the cheek. Knock on wood
Personally in a tree a do like my climbing line offset so i dont really use a redirect. That said i do alot of work on rows of laylandii and willow usually tied into 1 and working 2-3 either side. If you are looking for a cheaper option use a cutaway, beener and a pinto ( pintos have a wider gape so less friction, 11.7 my rope) This vid definitely helped me out even tho i took a different path
Excellent video, easily the best presentation on the topic I've seen, thorough and concise. Would love to see more like this, I feel like much of the information on inspections is spotty and inconsistent and doesn't draw on details from the manufacturer.
Can somebody please give me a link or tell me how to get that bridge attachment you have on your Bridge it's supposed to be better for your hips or something like that
Nice stuff Mark - such clear instructions and superb footage. Given the effort, in return, for ease of reference I've captured the salient points and time stamped it 1:00 Option 1: Pass both lines passed thru a carabiner on a webbing sling. Can use the webbing sling in a either basket or choked configuration depending on the length needed. Downside is friction between the two lines running past each other in different directions 2:00 Option 2: Add a Pinto pulley to run the lower line thru to separate the lines. Downside is the possible pinching of the line depending upon the diameter between the Pinto's cheek plates 2:48 Option 3: Add a Revolver Rig in addition to a Pinto Pulley to separate the lines with even less friction 3:17 System is stored on vault behind handsaw. Consists of Revolver rig, Perfecto, Pinto and Multi-sling 3:47 Set-up of option 3. Note: when installing the Revolver Rig beware of the direction of the gate - to minimise it touching structure when the line is being used 6:47 De-installing and stowing neatly
What is the closed pruisk with the floating ring called I've never seen anything like it the ones I've seen have the ring through the spliced or sewn eyes
Great video, man. I was just thinking about how one would redirect on DDRT the other day. I personally climb SRT and redirect with a loop runner/webbing sling and biner all the time. This is great, thanks! Keep up the great work, man. Climb high & stay safe.
I know using the hitch climber without a spliced eye climbing line is not recommended and frowned apon. But could I tie a figure 8 with a big loop putting the knot a foot or so above the friction hitch? ( so it wouldn't be able to lock the friction hitch in a sliding position).
Thanks for the great video - New bridge & ring for me my first one on the Tree Motion harness - please can you show the knot - looks like a double nut. Also never knew the thing about the red stitching on the non knot sewn end.
