I don't like your set up at all. You could use a chest harness to tie your microtrax up to so that it does shock load the rope if you fall AND your carabiner is tied in so that it can never cross load. you got some weird stuff goin on

Can this method cause rope burn?

What is the advantage of this over a blocked system with a pull cord?

why do so many people use two different progress capture devices instead of 2 micro trax or 2 roll locks?

Definitely not a great example with a death triangle as your start. Wouldnt hesitate to rappel in such a manner but wouldnt want to push it with repeated falls

The music is too loud! Can't hear what you're saying!

Thanks. Very clear and concise.

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

Bro Ben really fell

Why does it sound like this dude is kinda unsure of what he’s talking about. Lot of things you can do to make this safer and more efficient. Top take away in this is people forget to weight the ropes. That was good

Hang on, the first pulley doesn't provide any mechanical advantage, right? It's fixed, meaning it's only changing direction (and in this case, capturing progress), but not actually multiplying force. The pulley needs to move in order to provide mechanical advantage. So if I'm not mistaken, this single Z drag will give a 2:1 advantage because the tail of the rope moves twice as far as the load? Edit: I looked it up and it's 3:1. I'm not sure why, exactly. But I'm still convinced the first pulley fixed provides no mechanical advantage. Only a direction change.

Incorrect! Who can tell me what is incorrect!???....try to found!

Dumb question... I gather this is not rated for life support.i.e. climbing right?

Nice video! Btw, what'sa valdutain trusse? Am I spelling it correctly?

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?

DANGER : !! This video should be removed in my opinion !! If you wanna learn SAFE rope solo technics, check others videos on the net. There multiple no safe or not always safe things shown here.

Shouldn't a prusik be at least 3mm thinner than your rope?

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

If that cord gets caught and undos the bowline…goodbye. Much better and safer ways.

Man are you sure that your anchor isn't an american death triangle? This type of anchor are reeallly dangerous as the multiply the forces on the bolts instead of dividing.. I would do a bunny ear figure 8, much safer

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.

This is such a complicated system

Ohhhhhh we call this the “PFM”, because it’s Pure Fucking Magic

this is bull…, prussik must be always under belay device 🤦‍♂️

If you are concerned about redundancies why would you use an ADT for an anchor? You seem knowledgeable enough to build a better anchor. Stay safe out there man.

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 way the video is cut looks like you are releasing the rope while the guy is descending down, lol!

Good perpective of the danger! I would NOT use it for sure. Thanks!

How long is this VT

Is it more recommended to hook the prusik to another carabiner like you did or on the same carabiner as the ATC? Thanks

Is this called clogging?

Thanks for the video. Why not just use a trucker's hitch and keep it simple though? You can get a considerable amount of tension without having to use pulleys or prussics

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.

What is great video. I think you so much. Now my system will work. 👍👍👍👍👍

that's badass, thank you

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.

Sweet, thank you!

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.

De verdad piensas que se deben de poner los parabolts,puntos fijos tan cerca uno de otro? Tu crees que te los vas ha encontrar tan cerca uno de otro? En pared artificial si,por otro lado,hay que utilizar siempre mosquetones y cuerdas homologadas.

Lets take the time to set everything up, and then be sure to set the camera angle so the most important part is obscured by our hands.

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

Cool but sketchy without a backup , they have a tendency of untying themselves.

How to release the tension?

Interesting; so you can use this to lay out a hammock when the trees are fairly far apart

I’ve been beginning to use rope and carabiners for landscaping and noticed how my system closes and can’t be reset so this is exactly what I need. I’ll probably by the CT roll and locks but I would also love to see how this can be done without them. Thank you for this video and piece of knowledge.

Thank you so much

American death triangle!!

And can u use it instead of an ohm?
