Lockjack - Extendable bridge setups

[raafbeard]

Has anyone got any decent simple setups they wish to share...

 

LOLER man doesn't like me choking a sling to it...at the moment I am thinking of trying out a split tail with prussik....did try a ropeman on prussik cord but that wasn't popular either...although I think I could refine this to an acceptable std.

 

Thanks

Splice yourself a small whoopsie sling. Tried it on my Unicender, works but not for me.

You choked a sling though the LJ ?

 

If the sling is rated, it should not be a problem. Have you a pic?

 

 

The ropeman is not a good idea. Can be a ropecutter when you take a good drop

I used to choke a sling on the bottom attachment point of my LJ. Worked a treat as while moving the LJ from the bridge to the extension I was never untied.

eye to eye sling does the trick. If you loop a sling thru it and it catches the toggle in it, your on the way down the rope and off to A and E!

2 DMM thimbles with tabs and 8mm cord to whatever length. Tied in a loop with fisherman's.

How would you attach a thimble to the bottom LJ attachment?????

I used a lyon tape sling to the bottom attachment point ...I haven't got any pics though.

 

I thought that the ropeman2 was a little aggressive in its design and how it shredded the outer braiding on the cord thought about maybe filing the teeth a little but even then its still difficult to find a decent way of attaching it to a krab ...only a shackle or small maillon fits.

 

Something adjustable is what I want...daisy chains seem a pretty good idea but they have to be properly rated.

 

Still looks like a split tail and friction hitch is the best option...just bulky.

Ok so some pics of the setup I copied as it stands as of tonight...

 

Seems to work pretty well, and should do the job...any comments appreciated.

 

 

 

Got a tree I can try it out on tomorrow
