Calling all Camp Gyro users

[Mike Hill]

What do you hope to achieve with your viewpoint Paddy?

 

Do you expect to win everyone over and they just throw their hands up and type "Paddy you were right all along?"

 

I am genuinely curious.

I just want to go back to page 4 where there was constructive discussion about harness bridge connections and go back to the whole point in this thread which was to improve products.

 

I don't really have much of a viewpoint. I'm not telling you that you're climbing wrong and you must start abiding by the rules, I really don't care what you guys do up a tree. I'm not looking for a right and wrong out of this. Just for the incessant argument about if the requirements for two anchors exists or not to end.

I think the best chance of that happening would be for yourself and a select few to remove yourself from the forum.

Well considering that this was my thread, that I started and it was a good constructive discussion since the 9th of december last year, I wouldn't suggest that it was me that started the BS from page 5 on

Could you not use 2 bridges and two separate rings?

 

Climbing system connected to each one?

Yea 100% that's what the Treemotion Evo was designed for. The gyro means that everything twists independently though so you can rotate around two anchors and remove twists in the line whilst the weight is on and you're attached

[Rich Rule]

I used to run a swivel on my bridge to get the twists out.  IMO it just made it a lot worse.

 

That was on doubled rope though with a VT.  Because of that, I tried to change my climbing style so the ropes didn’t get tangled.

 

I haven’t tried a swivel on single line as I  haven’t had the same twisting effect, so have no idea how effective it would be.

[Paddy1000111]

Like you say I don't think it would make much of a difference on a single line as the twist in the rope can pass through the VT. That Gyro works a treat when you have two anchors though as you can move around and rotate without the ropes being tangled. Only downside is that the ring has a small bend radius and isn't big enough to use with strap type bridges.

It might be a catalyst for other people to start posting pictures and things again.

Tbh I find the stick Paddy Numbers is getting is completely out of proportion.
