I've seen it done with two seperate lines, one tied off at the base of the tree the other tied off at the high tip. Sounds complicated but the kid set it up super fast (Doug aka climb 020, who I haven't seen on the boards in a while)
the latest info on the alpine butterfly is that it can break...
Here's the way I saw it done by the NE champ. Honestly haven't taken it for a test run myself, cuz I'm hooked on the rock exotica thingy without any back up:O
http://www.treebuzz.com/pdf/CC_Jun07.pdf here's the article. And I too dismissed most of that discussion as over the top mania. Seems to me the easiest back up is the mini biner-through-the-small-hole-trick.
I seem to remember an article by Mahk Adams posted on the Buzz which had a pic of that as a no-no. Not sure of exactly why, I'll see if I can find the article.......Proper way is to back up both lines independently OR use two seperate lines.
