Thank you, Greg. Good illustration.

The upper and lower holes are in identical stock on the CMI, both the Ultracender and the Expedition. If you're using the Petzl Ascention, which is one of the worst ascenders ever built imo :), you are correct. Same with the Kong Double, it also has twice the stock at the top. Of course, we...

Good point about the cam release on the Expedition...I have no idea why CMI didn't use the same cam latch design as on their Ultracender...that one I like better, by quite a bit.

The length of the foot loop needs to be such that when you have extended the ascender overhead a distance a little bit short of your maximum reach (the lanyard from ascender to harness should go snug at this point too), your foot is a little bit lower than the max you can raise it comfortably...

That is a slick set up. It came from Sherrill thataway, and when I changed ascenders I loosened it up and retied it the same way. Basically, you loop the lanyard cordage through the ascender hole (using a plastic thimble), tie a clove hitch with the prusik cord around both legs snug up...

Yup, going up a 2:1 climbing system after you taste SRT can feel granny slow and inefficient.

I have not, but I think your point is well taken. I aid the flailer by putting a keychain biner through the hole in front of the cam...this restricts the cam's movement enough to keep the rope from accidentally escaping the nose of the Pantin. I also think it's good to be able to choose left...

Frans and TreeRhino asked for some pictures of Tobe Sherrill's Tree Frog ropewalking SRT system, as modified by me. The changes I made are not substantial...the system works the same as originally marketed, but I "upgraded" it to my preferences. I replaced two components. First, I got rid of...
