Rope Soloing Testing a 200 lb. Fall on the Wild Country Revo coming soon!

As soon as I render the video I will release this 200 lb. Rope soloing test with the Wild Country Revo. In the upcoming video you will see me weigh the bag and then drop the 200 lb. Bag on a dynamic anchor to simulate a real dynamic situation while rope soloing. Someone posted a video with a static drop of 160 lb. On a wild Country revo and it cored the rope. I wanted to test it on a dynamic anchor. This was a successful test using the Wild Country Revo for a 200 lb. drop test. I almost feel like I won't die using the Revo for trad lead rope soloing;)

Details on the drop and video coming soon. I weigh the bag, then haul the bag with a three point hauling system above 14 feet above the ground. I pulled the rope with the Revo tight which was about a foot or two above the last piece of gear. I then had to weight the haul rope with a jumar so I could wrap the rope around an eye bolt on the climbing wall. I then pulled off all the gear on the haul rope which was connected to a pulley at the top so no drag on the haul rope should occur during the drop. I then gave a count down and pulled the rope off the eye bolt and the 200 lb. bag dropped and the Revo caught about 6 inches from the ground. I estimate that Revo only slipped 2-3 feet before catching successful. 14 foot starting point, 2 foot from last piece, so 4 foot fall and haul bag is about 5 to 6 foot high with the haulbag strap. So 14 feet minus about 11 foot (5-6 foot for haulbag, 4 foot fall, and less then a foot from ground) is about 2-3 feet of slippage from the Wild Country Revo.
