PART 1: Tensioning Side | QUAD BUNDLE | Horizontal Rigging

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 …
