Camp Gyro Petzl Sequoia

[PatrickFirwood]

Hello

 

I recently purchased a Camp Gyro for my Petzl Sequoia harness, unfortunately it wouldn't fit on to the stitched rope bridge so I came up with this using the treemotion rope bridge, attached with a double fisherman's on to the rings. 

 

I just wondered on what peoples thoughts and opinions on this set up are? And whether its safe? Always used stitched rope bridges in the past... 

 

Thanks

Thats a TM bridge?

I run Gyro with that bridge in a TM belt, had crab straight on, later ring, after Hydra from RE, but gyro is super small and versatile.

Yeah its a lovely little compact device, really impressed with it. 

Yes thats the TM Bridge. The gyro would not pass over the stitched eye bridge on my petzl sequoia unfortunately... do you know if the gyro will fit on the new TM evo stitched eye bridge?

Looks like a great combo/customisation.
Not sure how the ‘two rope’ regs take into account two systems off a single bridge. (Anyone?) I suppose it all comes down to whether the bridge is considered part of the harness or part of the system. In the event of the bridge failing, the ‘back up’ system would be useless.
I’m not sure if this was given any consideration when the ‘regs’ were changed.

Tech Guide 1 p14, 14.7.5, 14.7.7 and associated photos 14.7.7 suggest that it is compliant as long as it's directly on the bridge, effectively becoming part of the bridge, rather than connected by a crab. P6 photo 6.6c (bottom) shows a zigzag being used with two systems as incorrect connection via a single connection, the only difference I can see is a crab is used to connect the zigzag to a swivel rather than being directly on the bridge.
