    Why not just do a 2 rope rappel with the rope running through both quick links? You can pull it through when done.What is the advantage of the macrame knot if both strands of the rope reach the bottom of the pitch?

    Guys, this is so sketchy...the crochet slips!! Save that knot for grandma and do it the easy way. Thread your rope through the quicklinks, close the system, and and rappel as usual with an added third hand.... The crochet is more steps and not safe for the last guy rappelling

    Pulling both devices a bit up with the chest harness will reduce the potential fall load. It will also iprove the control of what's going on with these devices.

    What happens when the last climber is rappelling and the tag line gets caught around their leg and they pull the bowline apart? All of these retrievable systems with the tag line that dismantles the anchor knot are scary. Even if they get down safe there is going to be gear falling down. Why wouldn't you tie a running bowline around the rappel strand with a tag line instead?

    The method you are suggesting still requires the rope to run the full length of the rock. The idea here is to leave no trace and to create a system where the rope just falls unweighted and does not create grooves in the rock.

    I lead solo all the time and while it’s a very different setup I would never use my micro Traxion as a fall arrest just because of the teeth. You would have been far safer using your gri gri and the roller. One method I use with my taz lov3 when TRS is after the second bolt I stop and tie an alpine butterfly so should my taz fail from an upside down fall that knot is my last resort. If that fails I fucked up big time and I’m not going to need to worry about what comes next.

  • @thenickguy2012
    @thenickguy2012Ай бұрын

    On a TR solo falling on a microtrax is pretty safe. When you get near the anchor and don’t have a ton of rope above you to soften the shock load, that’s where the teeth can cause a problem (fall factors and the amount of rope in the system and all that). I only use my micro to reduce rope weight on lead solo, but I trust it on TR solo

    Would you use this method when working a hard route? I would be worried about repeated falls damaging the rope and have seen people use their gri gri instead with either knots or a backup device like the micro traxion.

    You built a masterpoint on the anchors and complained about the ADT not being ideal?!? You chose to build it that way! Just bring the middle strand down and incorporate it into the figure 8 master not your binered through. Voila, no ADT, although that's hardly a concern with modern 3/8" bolts.

    Wow! Thanks for the idea of such an alternative way of hanging a hammock! It surprises me. Using prusik knots to hang hammock and be able to slide it along the rope for adjustment is a really inspiring idea 💡! 🙂 Also with this method it allows to adjust the vertical heights of the hammock ends INDEPENDENTLY of its horizontal adjustment in terms of where it is relative to the trees! For example you could have a 45 degree half sitting configuration

    Scarab is meant for larger diameter ropes though, so if youre canyoneering down a single strand rather than a doubled rope, the scarab isn't good at all, it would be dangerous. It *IS* an awesome device for vertical caving, though I think the Stop/Simple are easier to use, and rappel racks are more adjustable

    What are your thoughts on using a double loop figure of eight knot (bunny-ears) to separate the strands at the top? You could clip the loops directly into the chainlinks. This would avoid the triangular anchor and wouldn't require a carabiner.
