    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?

    Looks like there's a new resoler in town for us Canucks. Based out of Hamilton, Ontario, turnaround time of 4 weeks! Any resole here usually goes to Mike Doody and his excellent team at Ontario Resoles. Nice to have some competition regardless. Anyone know if they do no-edge? Heh. https://www.instagram.com/reviveresoles/
