Sometime over the summer i located a sketch of a 'motion lanyard' set up, i believe drawn by Moss. It depicted one rope, with two working ends, slack between the legs, using two blakes hitches, tied from two split tails, for ascent and descent. It's a very simple design, but looks to be very effective. Am i mistaken, or is this DdRT?
Also, I am now beginning to purchase my own gear (apparently my brother wants his back). I was looking at investing in a 70ft length of Yale Blaze (11mm) and was wondering if the split tails should be same size or smaller? would and 8mm split tail be sufficient?
My experience consists of mostly small tree free climbing, and a great deal of SRT, and i want to take advantage of this set-up's mobility and saftey.
