The bridge is amazing, but please keep the area as you found it.
This place is becoming so overused and the place will have lost its seclusion and beauty. Take you trash and equipment. Do no damage. Sometimes these jumpers only care about what they can get from things, and leave the damage for the rest. Just a reminder. Thanks

@blacksun32 as i said in a followup comment, i meant lateral side loading, they can definatly take the shock, i meant if you swing on the grigri sideways its not designed for that, when belaying with it, its always orientated correctly, anyway im not criticizing anyone, more curious , putting a backup above the grigri i can understand that way your grigri is your backup and not taking the brunt of the load.

@Jolinator I gotta disagree with your there. They are indeed made for massive shock loading and if they were able to cut or damage ropes, they would be pulled form the market. I've never once heard of a grigri failing. On the other hand it does FEEL sketchy, and it's always good to have redundant systems. When I did this, I clipped a butterfly knot above my grigri, so I had to do a little pullup to unclip from my harness, then rap off the end with the grigri (into water lol)

Legit! I've done this, but with a deep river below, and we rapped off the end of the rope on the upswing (gri-gri with back up loop clipped as well) into the river.

also meant to say lateral shockloading but seem to have ommited typing it.

Questions, looks like you had some good anchors setup, but are you guys only using one line when jumping? thats ballsy or crazy im not sure, second what is the fuction of the gri gri at 1:03, i see the line leaving the grigri is clipped to harness and belay loop, so i though the grigri was there as a backup at first, but given that grigris arnt made to take such crazy shockloading and if it did damage the line/cut anything after the gri gri cam, the second tie off when then be redundant,cheers

@mattblank3113 I was being sarcastic. I'm calling you a hippie based on some of your responses, numb nuts.

@NigzBsrz Ohhhh...Really, you analyzed the past posts and compared them to your hippie manifesto. Well, I'm not into sarcasm either, go try your comedy routines back in 2nd grade.
