I sewed the runner to the pantin when the foot strap normally attaches, and then used Zing It thrown line to fasten the bungy to the pantin. I guess I could post a picture.
Great idea, thanks for posting this mmost useful video. But how did you attach the short runner to the pantin? It looks like you threaded it into the pantin and then sewed it. Am I right? And how to attach the bungee cord to the pantin? The pantin i bought does not have a likely looking spot to attach the bungee cord.
A small, but growing, number of climbers in the internet forums have successfully adapted the system into their routine double line climbing. It takes a little tweaking to tune it in, but once adjusted up properly it is very efficient. I'm pleased to see it being used by more and more climbers.
Wow! Can't wait to try it. Awesome job explaining it and showing it! It couldn't have been shown any better. I haven't gotten excited about a new climbing technique in a long time. So simple, but so smart and useful! Good job buddy!
In the video I'm climbing at a friends place near Ft. Bragg. I pretty much have the land and trees to climb and setup whatever I want,, from access techniques to rigging and removals.
opps meant to ask you about your hitch Gerry, what are you using there a VT ? What is your hitch of choice, does it vary or always the same ? thanks Ger,
Thanks GB, looks pretty basic to set up. Cannot see why one would ever footlock when they could do this, but then I am new to rope only access so may not see all the angles at this time. Thanks again Gerry, stay safe bro.
-Grais. PS: love the fact that you are not anal about this stuff, I mean obviously you are very safe, but not anal about every little knot and piece of kit.
the double line rope walker has been some time in the making,, and just recently I feel the bugs have been worked out enough to demonstrate. I'll post a short video of the system being used in an actual work scenario.
Though with the holiday it will be a day or two before I get that edited and posted.
this is a good system

Hey Gerry, Did you drill a hole in the pantin to attach the bunji cord? And what kind of attachment is that? Is it knotted?
I haven't notice a hole in mine.

Awesome system!
Where to get the ankle strap? or what does it take to make one?
