Nirvana is out there. Being able to go DbRT, DdRT and SRT, interchangably with the same device, I've learned there are really a lot of devices that will allow that. This thread will be 10 years old by the time I would get through all of them. But the goal is not to try them all. The goal is to try the ones that offer the best hope of fulfilling all the requirements we've set out, which is quite a list, but it is possible. For this last year I chose the simplest possible device, and modified the saddle frontware to accomodate it and overcome it's limitations, in other words, given it a 'work partner' between the two of them they can 100% accomplish all the functional requirements. Once the most boiled-down, simple system has been defined, it can be made more complex, as long as it maintains the full range of function we are requiring. I'm gonna count on you guys to blow holes in this system and I know you can do it because you've never tried it. It's easy to criticize something you've never tried, so are we ready? | |

A third-generation reverso Quote:
Yes, Trev, unfortunately the generation 3 Reverso doesn't appear to allow the use of 11mm ropes, as shown in the Petzl website you linked us to. However, other information I'm getting says otherwise.  The Black Diamond ATC Guide has been around since 2006, and though the Reverso3 is 'patented' it seems to be almost a direct copycat of the ATC Guide; a bit smaller and a visually 'mod' appearance, but honestly Petzl has done a plaigeristic deed, in my opinion. Give me a sec and I'll place the two pictures next to one another so you can see what I mean. | |

| ATC Guide vs Reverso3
Here, take a look. Other than the orientation of the caribiner hole, the difference in size and the aesthetics, it is essentially the same device.   |

I guess this would be a good time to refer to the 'Official Site' for comparing the two; Dr Storrick's site Here's the ATC Guide Here's the Petzl Reverso3 |

Please... ...what happened. Read the lion's share of the thread (enough to understand that Tree Machine is as much a minor deity as his icon, Dr. Storrick--oblig. kudos to both genii btw from a slavering fan), AND read the TCI magazine article (understood enough to expect such rational explication MUST have been met by offers from equipment vendors of REAL products. Right?) Anything that could be, at least suspected as being, attributable to the 'gedanken' experiment Tree Machine waged? Many thanks for ground-breaking work to get all minds turned in one direction for a few critical moments. -- Groo' (David) |

Note to self, the oft-referenced: storrick.cnchost.com is gone, but Vertical Devices: Reviews of Rappel (Abseil) Devices, Ascenders, and Belay Devices lives. "Google is my friend." "For now." "Until they come to eat me." "But Dr. Storrick and Tree Machine are really my friends." -- Groo |
