Second bridge

[adam_86]

Hi

 

Just wondering if anyone runs a secondary bridge in their harness.

 

I use my lanyard as a supplementary from the middle ring on my hitch climber pull as it isn't as restrictive when positioning on a limb walk. I was wondering if anyone uses a supplementary from a second bridge and if so how it works for them.

 

Cheers

This was something i considered a while back when i first got my treemotion and nicked the bridge with a silky.

I didnt bother using a secondary bridge in the end but if it makes you feel safer...why not.

I dont see the need for a supplementary on limb walks but if your not getting a good work position u can go to using the other end of your rope in a V rig set up.

I have used the tail of my rope before but I can't see how you've done your v rig.

That was a picture i pulled off the internet ages ago so i could do the same thing with my own kit.

Heres a picture of my own setup

(At home obviously)

Right I see it, you effectively have two anchors. Cheers.

Yeah mate..it just gives you more balance on longer laterals.

Ideally less friction is better for ease of movement so 2 cambium savers

(1 on each anchior point)

 or even 1 cambium saver on one anchor point and 2 carabiners (opposing gates) on a taped sling on the other anchor point.

Thanks I'll give it a bash next time I'm on something with some meaty limb.
