Pinto rigs are the bomb, i have 2 one on a meter stable braid dead eye and the other on a 2m, excellent for light rigging or redirects on the heavy stuff

Excellent idea with the big shot rubber holding the mini biner

Buy a positioner and be done with it

Petzl williams work really well

Where are you headed in OZ?

I couldn't imagine that setup in anything other than up and down climbing. I would hate to see the stress that setup would go through even on a tiny dead wood. That is why the bridge is a textile so it can twist and bend with out putting anything under stress. That is how the zigzag failed, the biner turning and levering the eye under weight. IMO you've turned what is an excellent harness into something that is way less versatile than what it is

I've used one and wasn't really impressed especially for an extra couple hundred grams you could be using a 192t

I've got heaps to tubular webbing laying around to, so when my leg loops are rooted i'm just gonna stitch up some new ones. Just any old cord is NOT suitable. I was reading another thread on the topic i think at TreeBuzz and the users of specific different cords were experiencing heavy wear and i recalled either i failure or close to it occurring

Just out of interest, why would you not replace it with the standard Globe 3000? Just to save a couple of bucks? If you get 6 months to a year out of a proper bridge that is money well spent to make sure you aren't going lose any chance of claiming against teufelberger if **** hit the fan and it failed.

I'm spewing, the Uni was my go to tool for SRT but when i was getting less than 10 months out of them financially it wasn't worth while. After trying the Hitch hiker i didn't get along with it to well, i'm happily flying a ZK2. But in my opinion the wear issue should have been addressed within a year of the Uni going to RE.

If in doubt i could also put a half hitch on it to lock it off. I modified it so i could tie it off or pull the tail up to choke it, like ficus's. I can't wait to use it, in theory it is so versatile.

I just don't let it rub against anything, i haven't been in a position where it was necessary to have it up against a branch

Ok, tired Ficus's idea but after realising that i had to be able to isolate every limb to set the redirect i went with my original plan. This is what i've come up with, 5m of 8mm sirus, a tri lock revolver and a 6mm OV thimble loop. I can chuck it up, hoist my climb line up and tie it off very quickly using a locked off horse knot or something else and to retrieve it, its as easy as just getting back to where it is tied and pulling it out. I'm yet to give it a good run to see what kind of forces i'll be putting on the redirect limb but i'm confident this will suit the purpose well.

Thats a heaps better idea ficus, i was looking to set mine by tying it off with in reach but i think i'll modify it to work like yours, thanks

Yeah for me it'd be SRT but if you added a double sheave pulley it could work Ddrt
