This is one we tried that lets you work off a footlock prussic,kinda. extend the bridge on the harness, so that klemheists are nice and long. footlock up int the tree and then shorten the bridge. can now climb on both klemheists individually. didint really work as well as planned but was something to try.

we have too much time on our hands:001_cool:

Our french friends climb like that all the time! It looks good, but a bit odd.

Have you seen the french climbing? they have mastered it but it still looks odd!

never seen them climb sorry. i reckon the mid line anchor with two butterflys and revolvers is still better but does use two ropes though.

The eurou TCC was in france in 2006, they had the french championships first and then etcc (on different trees) so we got to watch the french comp.

 

It was good, very different style of climbing.
