Anyone found any in stock in the US recently? Mine, along with my lineman belt and climbing harness got stolen out of my garage.
Just bought 2 at trekinn. Thanks for the posting Ernie.
Now to buy another harness...

Anyone see an issue pulling double duty with my lineman belt (with ropeman) as my adjustable bridge?

This is exactly why I didnt use 1 rope for both. I had that intention, but a quick trial run at ground level revealed the issue of not being connected to the tree at all times. Maybe its a small risk, but with slings being so light weight, no reason not to keep the bridge and lineman 2 separate items.
Re: RE: Re: Climbing rope for tree access
Actually, that's exactly what I do. I posted a video the other day, I'll see if I can find it. If you have a ropeman for your tether, it is really easy to do.

Ok I misread g2s question, I thought he wanted to use the line mans belt as his tether not his bridge.....

I've always used a fixed bridge with separate lineman belt and tether.
I'm building an ultralight saddle with a modified Sitdrag and I'd like to have my lineman belt pull double duty as an adjustable bridge. I think I have a solution for always being connected to the tree, but I'm wondering if it's wise to use a ropeman on my bridge. I'm sure it is. I guess my original post/question was just kind of thinking out loud.

For those of you who use a rope with Ropeman ascender for your lineman's belt: What is the length of the rope before tieing any knots? What type of knot(s) do you tie on each end? Thanks.

The Ropeman will work fine for that. If you figure out how to make your linemans a bridge as well let me know. I messed with that idea last night and I never came up with a good solution to staying hooked up the entire time. I could do it but it required some extra stuff that was more hassle than it was worth.

I have a stopper knot tied at the end of the lineman belt rope to prevent ever accidentally letting it all run through the Ropeman.
Saw a video on the three point lineman belt, but it seemed like you needed to carry almost the same amount of rope, as having a dedicated bridge and lineman belt. Considering you can use a knot to attach the lineman's belt to one side of your harness and a carabiner at
The other, and the bridge can be done with just knots, I didn't see the advantage to a single, long length of rope playing double duty.

Re: RE: Re: ropeman 1
1.) Climb to tether height with lineman's belt
2.) Attach tether to the tree.
3.) Adjust ascender, prussic, etc and clip into belay loop. Take up slack until tight.
4.) Tie into belay loop using Figure 8 and tag end of tether.
5.) Unclip one side of lineman's belt and feed through carabiner on tether. Clip into lineman's loop completing bridge. Adjust bridge as necessary.
6.) Unclip tether carabiner from belay loop. Further adjust bridge as necessary
At this point you have safely transferred your lineman's belt to your bridge.
I can do it with my saddle. I rarely do it, but this is how I can do it.flinginairos said:

The process would be easy with a belay loop. A saddle without a belay loop (like a modified Sitdrag) doesn't work quite that easily.
