Probably one of the best reviews. Could we see all that stuff in action please?

[@kkutube1972]

Thank you.

[@rezzybeans]

Hey brother you still wear a ring climbing?

[@fightington]

holy fuck yeah

[@birdisinfire]

isnt the girth hitch on the bdb with the quickdraw slings a lil risky since it affect the breaking strenght ?

[@pf8031]

Was there much wear on your lower Ds from the rope grab rubbing against it?

[@alotl1kevegas860]

New to climbing. I was interested in an adjustable bridge, but was recommended against it. I'm curious what your thoughts are, 5 years later?

[@arboricole]

Yeah, I no longer run an adjustable bridge. I have moved to incorporating suspenders which have a pretty dialed tending point for rope walking. This keeps me from fiddling with bridge lengths. However, if you do more MRS/DdRT (Moving Rope System) you might benefit from an adjustable bridge to help you drop below your system to the point where you can really haul yourself up a tree. I guess what I'm saying is I no longer see the advantage of shortening a standard bridge when rope walking, but an adjustable bridge could come in handy using longer than standard bridge lengths. Hope that helps. If you are new to climbing I would highly recommend Treebuzz.com as a great resource. I learned a lot from the forums there.

​@@arboricole Thanks for the reply and the guidance 😊

[@fightington]

what is the 3:1 haul back you mentioned at the start as an option with your roll n lock setup? i'm not from arb industry, all this is new to me, we pretty much just use a grillion in comms

[@arboricole]

The Roll n Lock is a rope grab, so I take it off my rope bridge and put it up higher on my climb line and send the tail of my line up and back to me through the quickie - creating a mechanical advantage lifting system. So, further explaining this: On a single line I am hanging mid line on my multicender/climbing device. I get zero mechanical advantage hanging on a single line, so I take the tail end of my line (below my climbing device) and affix it to my climbing line above my climbing device using the roll n lock and quickie combo. The Roll N Lock grabs the line and the quickie has the moving tail part of my line. Now if I pull on the tail it pulls up on my climbing device and moves me up the tree with a 3:1 system. Does that make sense? I can then move the Roll n lock up the line ahead of me creating more of the system as I ascend.

What tool did you use to initially undo the quickie and also how do you have the ring attached to your saddle?

[@arboricole]

I used a tool that I designed called the Slic-Key, but, with the updated slic-pins that are now a larger diameter, the tool only works with the Rope Runner and Rope Wrench. I use an original older style pin with my quickie so my tool still works with my quickie. You can find one here: www.sheltertree.com/1990-36440/srt/climbing-gear_ascent-descent_srt/slic-key-slider.aspx Also, I attached the ring to my Tree Motion with a bit of paracord. Linked it back to one of the hole attachment points. There may be a better way, but it works for me.

[@sparker2289]

@@arboricole it's an awesome setup man. Thank you for getting back to me as well.

[@murilonikkiti]

That plunged is from shackle???

[@murilonikkiti]

How did you attach that extra ring on saddle???

[@arboricole]

Sorry, I don't know why I didn't get the notification. I apologize for the late response. I attached the ring to my Tree Motion with a bit of paracord. Linked it back to one of the hole attachment points.
