So they call it urban rigging

[NewMainer]

Where there is pavement, there could be a truck.

But hey, playing with climbing gear is fun! I agree with the lowe tricam idea, you wouldn't have to have such a wide angle, multiplying the load. Also, with the way it's rigged, the right hand stopper should be the more secure of the two, that way if the other goes, there is still a chance(not much) of that right hand one staying put.

BTW, hello everybody! Didn't know there were so many Rock Climbers around here.

Welcome NewMainer. What's your name?

By and large, trucks can be where there is pavement, but not always. We recently worked in a back yard that has a basketball/ tennis court, but the yard was fenced.

Tricams weigh a lot less than a truck, and can be faster and easier to place for a light pull.

I'll be tricams would be pretty bomber if they are put into the crack a few inches, not just near the top edge. If there is a vertical crack, such as you will see on a multi-level parking garage, you could even use spring loaded camming devices.

If there is a stone retaining wall, it could be a perfect place for rock climbing gear.
