have no pcks at the mo but its basically a length of rope say 2ft long with spliced eye at either end which is attached on your o ring and climbing system is attached at opposite end ie vt on a hitchclimber.the concept is to keep the climbing system away from the climbers working area ie black saw thus not causing continuous damage to spliced eyes and prusik rope.good system but needs to be tweaked to suit individual climber styles.

is this the type of thing your on about have climbed from this for years a 120cm dyneema sling larks footed into 4 strands which means under testing you can cut 3 and still not hit the deck then covered with a sip slong which holds it all together and has a couple of thin layers of kevlar and if you did catch with a saw it would spin around the sling

yes but the anchor bridge is very light weight.do you use a hitchclimber on 1 end the 2 spliced eyes instead of karabiners make a big difference

lockjack spiderjack or shunt for us on all our systems i think we need crabs at either end but am willing to be proven wrong

There's a much simpler system that Chris Cowell showed my in Hawaii last summer. Also met Rich Hattier who's baby is the anchor bridge....

 

Chris used a Ropeman as the adjuster.....lifeline dead ended through bridge to the bottom of Hitchclimber. Ropeman on above this on rope then mini-binered to HC....need a long splice so you can get up close, as you'll see in the pic.. a short splice would not be good, nor would the loading on it be good.

 

I replace the Ropeman with a small prussic. Sweet system. In the pic it shows it up close. Adjust the prussic out to whereever you want you friction hitch to be, then limb walk back in a flash, or body thrust effortlessly---uh relativley, eh?!
