bellemontagne Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Petzl has issued a technical advisory on the Reverso. For more info, download the PDF: http://petzl.devcross.com/pdf/D15.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceIceBaby Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I’m Sorry but I couldn’t see what is “technical advisory on the Reverso” All I saw is the very usual very well illustrated Petzl pamphlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I tried twice and all i could get was an ache in my butt while I watched the download get hung....... What was the advisory about? Perhaps a bit of insight on how to lower an incapacitated second after they have fallen since the thing is self camming when rigged directly off an anchor? I don't think Petzl shows it but if you girth hitch a 3 foot runner to the larger loop, the one equivilant to the keeper loop on an ATC, and weight it with your foot you can slowly release the camming action much like the arm on a GriGri and lower them. It is a bit of a pain, but the ability to belay directly off an anchor without a munter and the easy tie-off make it a pretty cool toy! Or was Petzl just trying to warn us that they are now making the Reverso in the same godawful pink as their Calidris harness. "do not look directly at it during daylight hours, may cause permanent eye damage" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceIceBaby Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Johnny, Do you mean like this It’s a great illustration and very helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Yeah, that would be it.....Thanks for the link, that is a cool site. Perhaps I should stay inside and surf more.... Pretty intuitive, the actual warning from Petzl. I quit using 3mm double ropes in my ATC a while back because they had a tendency to slip a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
