This is contingency to either strand.
-The Munter can go either way.
- The VT can be placed on whichever strand someone is stuck on.

The point of the VT is to minimize shock loading. Dressed...

I was wanting a way to get all the following in one setup:
1. Twin ropes
2. Simple, quick system
3. Ability to convert to lower without needing a LIFT step or pulling the entire free end of rope...

Punchbowl is fantastic, as is the news that SRP is loosening up about access!

I got SRP permission and went two weeks back with my son, his friend, and friend of mine.

Here's a the vid I made:...

Dam Canyon is a brutal, if varied experience. Fun enough to be worth doing, but I won't repeat it.

My son, his friend, and I pumped up my 3-man inflatable kayak,...

Took a couple of lapsed climbers out to Sundance. Their first canyon, and one I'd been wanting to do for a while.

Drop-in is incredibly easy, and seemed more so when my last few canyons were in...

Blocked with this arrangement on my last 3 raps, and it worked great. I tie the knot as demonstrated on the CUSA Fiddlestick instructions: (overhand, flip up, pull back strand forward, and clip to...

AFTER USING THIS KNOT MANY TIMES (AND NEVER HAVING ANY SLIP), I HAVE REALIZED THAT IF THE WRONG SIDE IS LOADED AND THE FREE SIDE IS UNSECURED AND/OR NOT UNDER TENSION, THE KNOT...

Thanks all! And @Don, I realized I forgot to throw in a couple you two were actually in (that ever-moving Cody gets a little blurry though!).

Still working on the image spacing thing...

Glad to put 'em out here! Now let's see if I can make the upload work... (I'm even more of a noob to forum use than I am to canyoneering!)

Thanks all! Tom, I appreciate the detailed response, and you convinced me. Looks like I'll be getting a very long rope!

Did Splash Down Canyon (Near Mesa, AZ) today with my son. It ends with a 140' rap directly into the Salt River. Used about 60' of 5mm Blue Water cord for the pull, and though I eventually got the...
