A directional anchor is typically a pulley that allows us to redirect a rope; this can be elevated as in a high directional, or low as a simple redirect, or anywhere in between. When we want a directional pulley to be adjustable, we add some mechanical advantage influence that allow us to make the directional …

Major taglines employs two mainlines, and two belay lines at the same time. The two working in harmony, while one is in the lower mode, the other is in the raising mode. Major taglines are most often use to negotiate larger type gaps. In most cases the major tagline has two notable advantages over highlines. …

The Termination Side This video depicts the termination of a quad-bundle trackline. Once again we are using prusik bypasses on each leg to eliminate the knot from the system. If these bypasses were to receive excessive tension, slipping would start to occur, thus easing the transfer of the load onto the termination knot. Highline operations …
