Titanium Dutch Clips and Ridgerunner

[HandyRandy]

I'm around 260 lbs and I've been using Ti Dutch clips for over three years on my RR with no problems at all. Just make sure you use them in the correct orientation since they have been know to bend when not used correctly.

I didn’t know about the bending instances. Are you referring to the positioning, the orientation, or both? I understand the point of positioning the clip like Shug explained in the video above, but there’s another thing to consider.

I would assume it would be best to point the gate to the sky, right? Just like with a biner, the further you place the force away from the spine the less load it can hold. Hence the angled shape, to keep the rope or strap close to the spine. Given how the straps angle down towards the ground, it seems like it might end up settling into a suboptimal configuration if you point the gate down.

I have used them on my Grizz Bridge Ariel at 20-25° with no problem. You can also use some Soft Shackles ala Myers. They work great too and are easy to make.

I made a set of the EVO loops, thanks to Mr. Myers’ instructions. They are working great!!

This was the test with my DIY GE Hammock. Next I will test with my Ridgerunner. I do not foresee any problems.
