More things broken

[Richard Mumford-yoyoman]

Well, I hated to do it, but in the name of...broke my rope bridge with CT RollNLock.

8:4o or so goes to the bridge stuff

Thank you for demonstrating and sacrificing this stuff for a good cause. Very interesting for sure. I'm pleased the CTRollnLock held up so well. Have you run any tests to see how hot various descenders can get when used on long descents? It'd be fun to test their breaking strengths too.

Love it! Great work Richard. I need to send you my sewn eye Globe 3000 bridge to break.

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Thanks for sharing all of this!

 

[Treezybreez]

Yes, a big thanks!

I would like to see how platinum stacks up to the globe 3000 in the stopper knots bridge configuration.

It amazes me how well the adjustable bridge did.

I've been meaning to try that stuff for bridge material since I saw a thread you said you used IT!

Thank you very much for doin this Richard. I'm sure we all would like to see much more to come. It's awesome to see and learn from that machine.

I'm really curious how platinum with it's woven core/sheath would go with a rollnlock

You just want to see me finally break that rollNlock.

We want to see you break everything. The value of what we learn is priceless if it can keep us safe. Thank you for your destruction.

What is the load limit of your setup?

I have a hard time sourcing Platinum. Wesspur has it *listed*, but the picture is wrong. I have no idea what they'll actually send me. TreeStuff doesn't offer it any longer. Where are y'all buying it?

Sufficient for arborist activities.

I bought a bunch as bridge replacement when I got my NT Onyx. We can still get it here, but that doesn't much help you.

If only you could do non-destructive testing . Poor RocknRoll

Seriously though, I like how this info, and other like it, helps share more about our gear and what might be safe for practice.

Less marketing bs, more data I say.

So you can break test Amsteel splices?

And 50 shades of gray

....sorry, couldn't resist.

My Onyx didn't even come with platinum. My second bridge brought it to purchase spec for the first time... Now I'm readying to stick some Blaze on it because it's hard to find platinum. Lucky you, mate!

Is Blaze the new factory bridge?

 

[colb]

Is Blaze the new factory bridge?

Nope, it's the "I can't get platinum from a stateside tree supplier so I'll try something new, random, cheap, and pretty" bridge. I don't think people buy platinum. It's too expensive per foot and no one reviews it (good or bad) for use as a climbing line. I've seen one arborist using it within the last 3 years, in an online picture. If you search google images you'll see multiple sheath color patterns, which is disconcerting if you're trying to stay dialed in on something.
