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?

Important information about the dos and don'ts on THE most important knot in #climbing and some myth busting.And here I thought it was all tested and proven about the humble figure eight.I've never used that yosemite finish, and I don't think I'll ever will. The stopper knot in the tail is enough and it doesn't really bother me particularly.I actually do like tails but that a whole different conversation https://youtu.be/nUCR_W-xCqY?si=3-A-1FABJ_4LWmht
