Hey all,
I'm traveling home from college for the holidays and will be getting around by bike. I figured I'd lighten up my system as much as possible so I can travel with it and get in a good bit of rec climbing while I'm there. I have a standard Treemotion, and for sure will be bringing my 110' of Blue Moon with a spliced eye and a Rope Runner. Any ideas on how to superlight a system for times like this?
Also, I'm thinking of setting up a totally separate super light travel system sometime in the future (TM is neither light nor compact). Anyone have any experience with this? What saddle and gear would you use, either for DRT or SRT? It still needs to be somewhat comfortable to hang in, but would only expected to be used for rec climbing and need to follow the ANSI guidelines (except for maybe rope diameter?). I usually opt to bike places instead of driving, and it would be cool to have a system that could be carried around easily, instead of lugging around 40+ pounds of gear or just giving up and putting it all in my car.
