mounted crossing Explanation: не нахожу английские технические данные, поэтому мой вариант описательный: mounted crossing above the river made of tight ropes в туристическом лагере у нас это называлось "навесная переправа" ниже ссылка с несколькими фото для "river crossing by rope", правда, не все они альпинистские) и описание и схема самой системы (к сожалению, только на русском). А на практике навесная переправа - это здорово! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 час (2011-05-13 16:59:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://nkosterev.narod.ru/met/nav_per/per_na9.jpg -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 час (2011-05-13 17:01:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://nkosterev.narod.ru/met/nav_per/ Reference: http://tubler.co.cc/river-crossing-by-rope.html Reference: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://nkosterev.narod.r... |

rope bridge Explanation: to set up/rig/fix a rope bridge as in the discussion I would avoid the noun 'to build' cos it could suggest a full-fledged rope bridge instead of a simple one like in my examples. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day21 hrs (2011-05-14 20:46:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- verb, not noun, of course! :) |
