I ordered another Roll N Lock today for a second saddle. I also mostly use the adjustable bridge to set it short for ascents and a 'normal' length in the canopy. I love the speed of switching back and forth and don't hesitate to shorten it up to climb a few limbs higher while maintaining a minimal sit back/fall distance.

Thanks you for this information. The new bridge is already listed at some german shops and

For all Sequoia owners which are able to organize a longer rope with sewn eyes (that was my issue)...the RollNLock also fits to the Ring Open and maybe there is no reason to wait for Petzl:

Nice! Have you got a close up photo of how you attached it?
Has anyone also do it on a new Sequoia?
Ignore me! I just caught up with the last two posts. Lol!
Wesspur just puts it on their online catalog.

The only downfall to the prussik is when your bridge hardware (ring, swivel, pulley...) tends it and your bridge extends...

What would be the min distance from ring to ring?
Looking at about 6" if the prussik is touching the other side.
After reading @Worthaug 's sensible comment I doubled my bridge back to a shackle attached to the same spot on the bat rigging plate as the prussik. Definitely want to order the roll n lock.

When I was working through lanyard adjusters I made a similar setup. I used New England Tech Cord since it's such a small diameter. I spent time rolling out all of the slack to make it
As short as possible.
It works for a lanyard
I would NEVER use it on a bridge!!! To likely to have the ring bump it and slide
Yeah, I was in an experimental (emphasis on mental) mood that night. I never actually tried that setup - briefly (and without tangible benefit) used a shackle to double the lanyard all the way back to the bat rigging plate. Then, I just cut the rope short because, let's face it, the rope is cheap and I've got a while before I'll be buying the roll n lock.

Something random to think about for those inspired manufacturers on here.

Frank, that is absolutely brilliant! Just don't let RE get ahold of it, we'll all be close to death before it hits the market! Still waiting on the Akimbo & RopeRunner 2 to be available! faceplant:::[emoji17]

I never could figure out why this hasn't been made yet, it not exactly rocket science. We have all been strapping Roll-n-Locks to everything for a couple years now.
