Had a look at your web site, It is very bad and dangerous that you are offering advice on how to so something which it would appear that you have little knowledge on how to do safely. Either you of someone else who uses the information could have a serious accident as a result.

I my experiences tyrolean traverses are mostly set up for no real purpose except fun and you end up bored of the notion by the time you are half way across the rope anyway. The situations which may actually require a tyrolean traverses are mostly at the top of advanced & isolated climbs e.g. totem pole or rescue related.

If you are still really keen on the notion of a tyrolean traverse i would suggest paying a professional to teach you how to set one up properly and safely.
