Vergo on a Tensioned Rope?! 80kg Rescue Test

Test: can you install a Trango Vergo onto a rope that’s already tensioned?

I tested it on a tight rope loaded with 55 and 80 kg (using a 9.2 mm and 9.8 mm rope). It’s NOT easy because the channel isn’t straight, and you have to force it, wiggle it, and work the lever.

Result: it can work… but it’s a bit sketchy and takes effort.

In a true emergency or rescue situation, a strong climber might be able to make it happen.
For proper rescue use, a device like the Taz LOV2 or LOV3 is a better tool (easier and robust).

This is not standard use! Know the limits of your gear.

You might have seen Petzl's self-belay article.. But how safe and good can it be?

Petzl’s new top rope solo method uses 2 ropes, 2 devices… and just 1 carabiner.Sounds simple! But is it a good idea? Warning: there is some bad loading here!...
