i love to see how fast this channel has grown! congrats! i remember you posing the question in the NCS group way back, when you still weren't sure if you should do it or not.
Hey from Epic Rope Access. to those nay sayers talking about the duck sliding up the rope, even if the duck sinches up, it will just turn into a regular pull through and will be no less safe. I have used this before, but I did not know it could be set up from below. Could you please show us how to set it up from below?
Totally agree. But still I do have to respond to peoples comments. I will be doing a few more How to kind of videos in the new year and this is on the list. Cheers, and thank you for your comment. Mikey Stevenson
Awesome videos man. Quick questions, I normally do pull through with wire slings and pulleys. Do you believe it would still be safe if I replace the pulleys with inverted ducks?
Instead of the ducks or just clicking in to the carabineer, click in and then wrap the rope once around the carabineer spine. The carabineer will stay where you put it and will lay in the correct orientation. A bit more friction upon retrieval but not excessive.

In advance I apologize for using the medium, I ask if you have rope acces and climbing shirts or caps that I can buy and what would be the medium, please
Great question. The easy answer is yes it would work. However, you would not want the basic to be attached to the back up line incase it were to get shock loaded

That depends on the model of pulley...

Interesting method.
I’ll have to try that out here.

You should look into a singing tree quickie as an alternative to the carabiners
Oh, why is that?

Interesting,
I’ll have to check them out.
Thank you
What about using a Kong Backup or Petzl Rescucender? Thanks
I wouldn’t say you couldn’t.
How ever Im not familiar with the Kong Backup

No reason to apologize.
Im in the process of trying to get shirts and hats printed. So follow me on IG to get real time updates.
Cheers

What about using a Petzl basic? I think it would work as good as this, but i'm beginner so i would like to hear your opinion.
Great question. The easy answer is yes it would work. However, you would not want the basic to be attached to the back up line incase it were to get shock loaded
Are there any reasons for using the duck instead of a shunt other than the certification as back up of the duck? 🧐
That will all depend on your company procedures.
I’d like to see how to set this up from the ground with steel slings.
I can do that.
Thank you for the suggestion
Mikey, by chance can you tell me the brand of that shirt or where I can get one?
Of course!
Head over to RopesEdge on Instagram and message him. He will be more than happy to help you out
Cheers!
