    So this happened today. I fell off a route, rested a bit, and made my way back up. The rope was still under tension, and as I moved up and over, my belay loop brushed past the draw and clipped into it Sounded like someone else clipping a draw so I didn't think twice about it, until I became stuck on the wall [image: 1736047528647-1000006768-resized.jpg]

    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?
