You can google other videos that show some different set ups, but all are variations on a ‘Z-pulley’ system. (Speaking of climbing… also useful for crevasse rescue, and big wall hauling)

What was that HR spike?

 

[Bret S.]

What was that HR spike?

Dunno, it was the first set of 50 mace 10/2's with 26 lbs. It surprised me too, then it settled down for the next go. Never happened before, maybe an equipment malfunction?.. breathing was nasal and I did not feel like HR made a run up.

 

[offwidth]

I will see stuff like that from time to time as well. I usually figure it’s the HRM also.
