To review, this simplest way to make sure it’s stable is to visualize your resultants and make sure they’re landing within the footprint of your system. Then provide some guying for stability and the insurance that in the event that someone should change, you’ll still be stable. You may find situations — and we’ll show …

Let’s review some of the basic concepts starting with a term you’re going to hear a whole bunch: resultant. Resultant is a very important term when you work with a high directional. Defining a resultant is what determines if your high directional is going to be stable or not. So when we say resultant, the …

Excerpt from “A Guide to Artificial High Directionals & Two Tension Rope Systems” Defining a resultant is what determines if your high directional is going to be stable or not. So when we say resultant, the full term is a resultant vector. A vector is a measure of force and direction. Here, we’re talking about resultants through the …

~This is a quick snippet of something we filmed when we first opened up RLA’s studio lab ~ Two Rope Twin Tension Mini Offset… Backcountry Meets Fire Service So backcountry meets fire service… sounds like a battle of some sort. So while this “match up” is really neither epic nor epoch, this contest does …

Two Rope Offset Systems or “cross hauling” uses two identical working systems (normally). Now while some use a main-belay system, we are advocating a “two tension system” as it “halves” the amount of tension on both sides respectively, thus reducing the chances of any load related challenges… I am purposely not using the term “catastrophic …
Thanks goes out to Peak Rescue Institute. A two rope off system is essentially a system of two two rope systems that are working in a complementary fashion to move a load down one side of a gap across laterally or horizontally, across the bottom of a gap and then up the other side. …
MAESTRO and I’D allow for efficient hauling, releasing the lock at any time and a controlled lower of the load. The two devices have different ergonomics and different specifications (working load and efficiency). Hauling The MAESTRO’s efficiency enables effective use of simple pulley systems. If a complex pulley system is needed to increase efficiency, it …
