Well, I'm curios to know if this phenomenon occurs with the Metolius Bomb Shelter Doubler Portaledge. Any thoughts? Thanks. J 0 Flag Quote

J Nope, but I can tell you the spreader bar is not easy to install when the ledge is on the side of the wall. 0 Flag Quote

Most definitely agree. Go with the fish - it's slightly narrower, but superior in every other way. Best double on the market! 0 Flag Quote

I'd love to hear tips from everyone re: setup on the wall.... I just used mine for the first time. I ended up building mine on the ground and flagged it, then I hauled it up. What a PITA. How do you guys deal with it at the anchor? 0 Flag Quote
