Compact Bulldog Bone

[Worthaug]

So can anyone spare me 178 pages of reading and give me the skinny on this thing?
Acceptable rope diameters?
What ropes work best?
price?
Also can the end on a ddrt be clipped in to the other hole?

11.3 - 11.7
Cougar and Tachyon
Don't know the current price
No, that hole was originally meant for a tending option SRT.

Awesome, thanks worthaug!

Individual results may vary.

Buy two.

So Ive been tinkering with the bdb again and have added a slack tending roller to the bottom and made some other changes that needed to be incorporated to accomodate the addition.

Ive tested it on tachyon, cougar, kmIII, and safari and it holds on all of them.

Here it is.

Cool!

looks like a cousin of the rope runner with that addition. Nice work.

 

[treegongfu]

Thanks!

It has the disadvantage of having dropable parts and in its current configuration requires greater pressure to release.

 

[Dave Rohach]

That's where I was headed as with having too many loose pieces. If a chain/plate system could attach all of the parts to keep things from dropping to the ground or onto a tarp? Very slick concept, otherwise.

Yes. I tbink a spring loaded side plate might be the solution. Ill have to see how that can be made to work.

Ok - So now I'm asking what are some of the smallest diameter ropes the Bone has been known to work on?

With the Dmm Throwing Hook coming out - I'm looking to possibly use the bone on a secondary tie in with options on lighter, smaller rope to aid in the throwing.

I'm still making my way through the entirety of this thread.

I have used it on the 10.5 mm Platinum. Just a rec climber though. 165 lbs, 3/4" bollard.

Recreational climber or pro is of no importance in this context, to me. If you used it all day at 165 pounds, on 10.5 mm rope, with no slippage, is what matters. Thanks for posting this result.

TreeStuff is putting 10mm Sirius on the DMM Hook, in their kit! I'm curious how the BDB will handle that @ 180lbs + gear, even though it's a 2ndary load, not primary, you could still have the same load while traversing. I would think?

 

[monkeylove]

You know Dave that is actually a very good point along with the fact that many mechanicals don't work with 10mm. Hopefully Nick will read this and give that some thoughts.

 

[Tuebor]

It comes from DMM with the Sirius.

 

[monkeylove]

Okay then I guess I'll wait until I can buy it separately. Thx

I was thinking the same exact thing, I'll splice some 11mm rope on the "Hook", that way I can go w/BDB or RopeRunner, may even find a zillion to run with it.

Hey everybody, quick question I really like the idea of the CBDB better than the RR and I just wanted to know from people who climb on one if I can totally bomb out from height with this thing, I am super interested if it performs like some rope runner bombs I've seen (johnny pro style). Any feed back would help and is much appreciated, thanks again.

 

[monkeylove]

I just wanted to know from people who climb on one if I can totally bomb out from height with this thing.

Yes for both devices in the case of an emergency, if your going to bomb down as the normal descent mode on a daily basis than I would probably go with the runner only because I found it a little easier to setup how much "slide before stop" I wanted.
