    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?

    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
