    Rope Bridge Options

    The Petzl-made adjustable bridge isn't as quick to adjust as a roll lock or Kong, etc., for one, and the rope it comes with is much longer than I want...which only leaves me the option of having a piece custom-spliced.

    Falcon II is a Petzl rescue harness...no side D's, single D front connection.

    Weaver Cougar sizing Questions & Upgrades

    I'll agree about the belt adjustment...I have a Falcon II that adjusts the same way, and is awesome.

    Weaver Cougar sizing Questions & Upgrades

    If you settle on the Sequoia, a word of caution on the SRT model...all it is useful for is having a chest ascender/croll, etc. attached independent of your bridge. If you climb SRT with your climbing system already on the line (ie. Rope Runner, Wrench+Hitch, Hitchhiker, what have you) there's...

    Rope Coiling

    Credit where credit is due...your delivery was spot-on. My hispanic co-workers were completely bewildered by the "gringos locos" 'making us stretch'...and then it happened. On topic: I've been coiling my rigging ropes like Post 1 for several years...and then I came to this company and...

    Zillon Thread got me thinking...anyone have a rope preference for custom rope bridges? Any specific no-nos? I've got a Sequoia I want to do an adjustable bridge on, but I do NOT want the Petzl-made rig, sooo...

    Best rope for Zillion?

    The sidewinder requires that you use the 10mm beeline that it comes with, unless you're mechanically minded and can dismantle it and insert a different rope (also 10mm). The sidewinder also comes with, I believe, a spliced eye on the leading end, which would, in itself, be impossible to thread...

    I think you need to put one up of your "favorite stretch" you shared with us on day 2 at SRT Sacramento a few months back...

    Grigri uses?

    If you do that, you're right. You won't fall. However. If/when you slack off your SRT line, the grigri will gradually feed line until that stopper knot is jammed up against the grigri. Now, the knot can't be untied to allow you to be lowered without pulling tension off the knot, which means...

    Grigri uses?

    If you have experience on one, it can be used in a rads system. I don't plan a climb on it exclusively, but sometimes I'll be working one side of a tree DdRT, and I'll leave my tail end on the other side. I tie off my zig zag to a branch at the trunk, and can swing around to the other side SRT...

    What do you think of that saw bar on the 201? Do they make 14"-ers?
