Kestrel Bridge "Bypass"

For climbing techniques where you need a short bridge.

This can be left in place all the time if you keep a bridge carabiner.

Rather than add hardware to make an adjustable bridge, I am trying out a sling.

Just girth Hitch to the right side and then connect to the same bridge carabiner. The bridge will hang out of the way.

Set your platform before you switch over. Clip your bridge into your tether before unclipping the sling.
Using a separate carabiner makes for an easier and safer switch over.

If you tie your bridge in on both sides, the carabiner would only be used for your sling and could be moved out of the way when not in use.

Where did you get the webbing to make the shorter bridge? How long is it, and is it something you made or can it be purchased somewhere?
 
I am considering putting my Petzl adjustable bridge setup using Teufelberger Reep Schnur 10mm on my Mantis. Shorten to ascend/descend and lengthen at hunting height. While there is metal involved it is silent to adjust.
 
I use a Rope Wrench and rope walk up my preset ropes. You can fly up the tree with minimal effort.
