The Camp swing is difficult to adjust. I plan on switching mine out for the Petzl.

I have the Petzl Adjust and it works fine. Another possibility if you’re just building your first sport rack is to get/build a couple extendable draws. They’re more versatile as you can use them for bolts under roofs or off to the side of the primary bolt line. If you use them at the anchors, just don’t climb above them. You don’t wanna fall directly onto a static sling.

You can also buy a beal or metollius dynamic sling. Use it as a personal anchor or a general runner depending on the situation.

A bit more forgiving than dyneema slings.

The petzl adjust is great…particularly helpful in a sport climbing setup. I think it makes anchor setup/takedown easier.

When descending you can clove your belay device carabiner at the midpoint and have a nice extension/lanyard setup too.

Swing works much better if the rope is replaced and the device turned around and clipped to the harness.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
