Tensioning Side Tensioning a quad-bundle trackline is particularly rigging intensive and requires practice and patience. As with all trackline tensioning systems of highline construction, we must be diligent of not over tensioning. In addition, with all multi-bundles, equal tension is imperative. During this short video you will see how to rig a 3:1 on each

The “A” Frame The floating A Frame used in this video for the quad system is very similar to that of the single and the twin trackline, other than there are now four ropes encompassed in the trackline that we must manage. This segment addresses some of the specific aspects of a high directional anchor
