Extending Bridge.

[DrewB]

Tried this setup today for a change and it worked quite well. I find that the hitchclimber is sometimes out of reach at full stretch wearing the tree motion, so this gives some adjustement when at full stretch. Can also extend it long for ascending or branch walk return. i can see it being abit of pain having another bit of rope dangling down but that didnt seem an issue today, was just like having another lanyard. also need to tie the stopper knot closer to the prussic.

 

2 more. losing some of the sliding bridge is also not as much of a bother as i thought it would of been.

i have the same problem. i like the look of that idea, think il give it a try when i get a chance

Schweeeeeet!!! I like! A bud uses a Ropeman, attached directly to those special rings that come apart that are on the Petzl Sequoia. I like your set up as well....I think the extendable bridge is even slicker than Chris Cowell's way of moving the whole hitch assembly up, or Rich Hattier's Anchor Bridge.

i like the look of that drew,gumpy bought me an anchor bridge and i really liked it but was just a wee bit too long.

I have to say that’s the neatest way I've seen of extending the bridge, and a big bonus point is you can pretty much do it one handed.

yeah gump mentioned anchor bridge to me too-what is it?

[DrewB]

another thing is that it was a lot smoother to extend if i extended over my right shoulder (if the prusic is on the right side).

its the same principle as your system but just done with 1 piece of rope double spliced from your front strap,but its not adjustable so 1 size fits all which doesnt really work.sorry got no pics

Excellent....dont like the ropemans much...this is a system I could use and easily/cheaply replace if needs be....

[Tully]

nice idea.

Wat happens if u turn to the side and the hitch contacts the attachment ring, whilst your weight is in the harness.

Does the hitch un-do?
