I'm going for two SRT climbing systems tomorrow. I moved this cottonwood job up while weather is good, and I didn't have to think too much about it. I'll probably try two bridges.
Keeping the climbing ropes and rigging ropes from getting messed up will be an exercise in rope management.
My...
I wouldn't want two bridges all the time. One bridge is suitable most times. Last time I ran two climb lines was over a tipped tree without a strong lanyard. Two rope pulling 120 degrees apart was a pain in the A*^.
I"m guessing that it allows each device to run the full width of your bridge without hitting each other around the half way point and conflicting. If you're bobbing and weaving on little wood, you need to keep each system tight and mobile. My armchair guess.
This means being able to stand on a limb that wouldn't hold your weight, while repositioning your second climbing line. I'm not so often in this situation. I use a 30-40'long lanyard system DDRT when doing end-weight reduction in large firs, as a typical close tie-in point won't bear my weight...
Half your load on a limb makes for farther limb walking, in my estimation.
Kevin, are you routing the rope through different crotches, disconnection and reconnecting?
