I was looking at your bridge setup, can you use those interchangeably on any saddle that allows a bridge? Because I seen you hooked up your Notch Rook pulley and i am thinking of doing a setup like that. I seem Tree Motion has a replacement bridge but I use a weaver cougar saddle
bit confused how you demonstrated a technique towards the end about using the whole length of the lanyard, to then caution us not to use that lanyard doing such an act?
I just use the snap on my steel core. Different than a carabineer, but I still do it the same way many times even though I can see the slight side loading or cross loading as you put it. I just don't see it being a big deal. But I also basel tie a base with a running bowline. Don't personally understand why that's a big deal but I'm open to new information. 17 years neither has failed me yet.
I'm new to climbing so i need to get some hours on my spikes before i start buying more gear but i like your reviews... gives me something to think about for the future. I recently spent 700 on spikes, saddle, and a flipline... that took a lot of convincing to get my wife to agree on. I gotta get a new rope next because the "hand me down" rope my arborist buddy lent me is in pretty rough shape.
A good affordable rope to start off with is Samson arbor master 16 strand. Knott and rope supply sells it by the foot so you dont have to buy an entire 120 or 150 ft piece. I believe its only around 70 cents per foot. I started with just 100 ft and it handles anything ive done so far. Then you can get a hitchclimber pulley and some prusik cord and build you a very functional hitchlimber set up for ddrt on the cheap.
the best value rope on the market right now that is actually a good all-purpose rope that can grow with you is the Yale Blaze. It is excellent, cheap, very visible ( important). Don't buy a 16strand or 12strand rope if you can avoid it. they don't interact as well with the mechanical prusik devices.
An touch of excellence . Well thought out on not using direct attachment with that carabiner.
Excellent explanation young man! 🤩🤩
Great idea to avoid the cross load . thanks for posting.
Thanks, also glad you was able to see how you did that knot/hitch.
Killer tip! Thanks brother 👍🏽

Nice tip! An English Prusik from a loop is handy for this same application as well.
Little bit better is the "sliding fisherman's knot" used as a prusik.
Good tip, thanks for the vid
very usefull, thanks for the tip.!
Nice tip thank you the lanyard you're using in your zillion where did you get that from what kind of rope is it

Should you adjust your carabiner so the rope doesn't run on the gate?
Yes! see: th-cam.com/video/SKLW1KLPTLw/w-d-xo.html

What lanyard are you using? Trying to pair a technora rope (tech11? Tritech?) with a zillon asjuster for a positioning lanyard. Thanks!
that is the rope I had been using. It's not "technically" approved by Petzl but it has worked well for me.
The first time you did it was way more dangerous than just choking it off.

Or you can go straight old school and tie a blakes hitch with the same rope.

Yale bluemoon is best rope on the market all around purpose. It's always on sale .at bartlett got 200ft with splice for 130.
I like the song , whats the name
What carabiners do you use on the ends to connect it to the harness?
Is it okay if I use tri tech with my zillion
side loade rated for 80kg plenty in that cenfiguration, is the zillion able to hold you i srt
It’ll hold me in position but it’s not rated for that really so I “don’t recommend” it.
@@Stridertrees ty for the replay, i need a zillion but i prefure steel lanyard mutch easyer to flip
@@Stridertrees it's not primary just as your zillion so why does it matter?
Serious question..
Thanks
nice!! thanks
Nice tip tho I'll probably never use it. tho that will be down to me forgetting about it.
Also, is that trite has you’re running with your zillion? I’m about to run trite he in my zillon
Eric McGrew indeed it is 11mm tritech ! Works great
Josiah Georgeson sweet! I love tritech! I’m looking forward to running it on my zillon
👌
What's the weather like
Good tip , next time if you shoving specific knots don't cover them by your hand, and give the chance to new climvers to see this tip lol
