    Not sure how active the rope solo scene is on fedi, but I figure I'd ask. There's been quite a bit of discussion over the years about various systems, but the modern consensus seems to be to use two progress capture devices on a single (or dual) fixed line, with one suspended higher than the other via use of a neck strap or chest harness. By far (at least in North America) the consensus seems to be to use the Petzl Microtraxion. The Edelrid Spoc seems to be a good alternative, is both lighter and cheaper, and is also mentioned occasionally in discussions about TRS. Brent Barghahn is seen in this photo in a double-Spoc setup: [image: 1733628906847-1000006397.jpg] Any potential problems I should be considering?

    Fun #climbing in Dave yesterday. A crag called Rochers de Néviaux. Another old limestone crag bordering the river Meuse. Lots of pockets and overhangs, which I’m not very good at. But fun nevertheless. (not me in the pictures)

    A couple more from Peel Crag #Northumberland last night. A chilly but fun evening of #Climbing and trying out a second-hand camera... a Sony ZV-E10 with a 20mm Viltrox f2.8 prime. Happy with it so far, and I think it's going to better than using my GoPro as a camera. #Photography #TradClimbing
