How is a rope bridge connected across a ravine?
Answer:
those who constructed hanging bridges or rope bridges do have one thing in common: capacity and common sense
they were not actually made of rope but vines twisted together and secured to rocks and trees etc ,there was no give in the vine so it was quite solid ,there were three such vines hung across ravine,one at base and two as hand rails,they were held together with smaller usable vegetation that was twisted for strength and lasted for many many years
The construction of these bridges amounted to a pair of stone anchors on each side of the canyon with massive cables of woven ichu grass linking these two pylons together. Adding to this construction, two additional cables acted as guardrails. The cables which supported the foot-path were reinforced with plaited branches.
