    Pantin Life Support?

    Fairfield, do you mix up having 2 ropes (= redundancy) and having 2 ascenders on one rope? I dont think so, but it could be read like it. ;) One toothed Ascender being a half connection might be misleading (terminology) as well. More precise it means: a loaded toothed ascender IS a full...

    Pantin Life Support?

    A Pantin is clearly no PPE and Petzl tells it on its Homepage as well. And it is not even half a connection point to the rope (RAT's would call it) as it hat no appropriate attachment possibilities to a harness. OK, main reason it is not certified for it... The sad part about the RW certifying...

    Hitch hiker-hitch chord and knot config

    Clipping the second biner to the bridge in DDRT doesnt lift the carabiner either. Clipping into the biner itself would be best, but I didnt figure it out nicely yet...

    Rigging Rings - Build your own @ home

    [ QUOTE ] ... 36" 'Rigging Saver' http://youtu.be/FRkHJQNy1q8 Note: two locking brummel splices. [/ QUOTE ] Un- and reweaving the Rope seems unnecessary to me in case of splicing onto the Low Friction Rings, why not go for an inverted/möbius Brummel? Thats what I've done.

    Shortest Tenex Splice

    [ QUOTE ] You can certainly make a short sling with a 6" bury. Do you also want it to be full strength? If so, you should probably test your short sling to see just how strong it is. I think there is no way such a sling will be full strength. The bury will begin to slip out long before you...

    Hitch Hiker in Comps

    [ QUOTE ] ... It is my understanding that you can no longer certify any system that needs to be tied and untied such as CE climb. That doesn't mean that the CE climb is not CE, but there will be no more CE systems involving a hitch. ... [/ QUOTE ] I amnot totally sure, but I dont think thats...

    The Hitch Hiker

    How do you guys clip in for Ddrt? Do you just clip the standing part to the bridge with another carabiner? Or put it onto the steel carabiner next to the HH? Thats what I'd like to do the most and it works with a broad carabiner, but not really nice (Dogbone and stopper knot is in the way)...

    Friction Savers....PulleySaver

    Yes, there are several ways to use a "reversed" Rope Guide. I just dont recommend using a prussic as it can be activated from the branch where it lays. You can do nice setups with a whoopie sling with the Cocoon on the adjustable side f.e. ... But coolest setup somehow is: just a piece of rope...

    Some more infos: The carabiner attachments are really small to make sure that just one fits inside and that it cannot rotate over the gate. No way to fit a Revolver in it, even a ISC Mighty Mouse gets stucked on his spine! There may be other carabiners that do not fit as well, would be cool to...

    2 more pictures: a one carabiner setup (seems to work normal, but more sitback because the body of the device has a longer way to upright); and a more basic M-Rig (not the best loading on the carabiner, can flop around, but seems to work normal)

    First: The Vortex fits in it, but it is really tight. I think you'll get to much friction in the ZZ which may be even comfortable in use, but self tending will need a lot of rope beneath the device. From my short play around I found Rocket Line (used one) to self tend the best, than Blue Moon...

    ZZ in da house! I'll come to use it next week, but maybe I can put up some pictures with different ropes in it at home...
