That sounds like a very good idea. Is it something that can or will be user adjustable? David

Done.

The disadvantage is not with low friction, but with no friction as can happen with the Uni or ART jacks. These products when not weighted will allow the tail of your rope to just fall through. This is great when being used as a self belay on a climb where you are just climbing the tree. But...

Nice, Kevin! I have a question for you about your new device. Can the amount or flow of self-tending be controlled? I can climb the same way as you just showed on my Uni and aside from the fact I'm too old for that kind of stuff, I have found that ability to self-tend is like a double-edged...

Cool! I think a knee ascender is WAY better than a hand ascender with a foot strap when used on climbing systems like the HH and RW. Understand it will take some fine tuning on not only the position of the knee ascender but the length and strength of the bungee. I have found that more stretch...

Yes, a Croll works fine. It is what I use. David

Those were some nice tips, Jack. Nice video, Randy! I like it when people just say it like it is and how it works for them. Our individual climbing styles and body types pretty much guarantee that we will find a need to personalize how we do things and what works for us. If you ever decide...

And another nice video! Thanks, Jack. I appreciate your input and also your reluctance to recommend the use of an ascender on out-of-spec sized rope. I, personally, don't view knee ascenders as life support and place them in the same category as a foot ascender. So I may very well give the...

Thanks for the tip on the new Basic, Jack. I would love an ascender that was both smaller and lighter but the new Petzls are only rated for up to 11 mm rope. Have you tried running some 1/2" through one? I have decided I really don't like skinny rope for an all around climbing line. I am...

Great video, Jack! Yes, thanks to Jerry many of us were introduced to the knee ascender. I was never able to get on with the DdRT rope walker but I love it on SRT. Dave
