    Almost everyone learns best with individualized instruction. I WILL get my helmet cam dialed in at one point. SRT is free, with the gear you have, plus a piece of wood... Wooden Rope Wrench. OG. I will make some step by step videos at some point. I really, really believe that if you were to so...

    ya, that suck!. What does that have to do with SRT, at all (no offense!)? You can SRT without both legs (single foot ascender), or just your arms, especially with a 3:1 set near your PSP (primary suspension point)/ TIP. Pardon me, but fighting friction from a moving rope all the time is like...

    Erik beat me, murdered Jay, aka Shiny. So, how did the system work out? Any test runs?

    I sipped, not chugged. He sipped 'shine and miller lite with the Vortex neck bottle! Erik helped. Jay did the big dent in the 'shine, though.

    Stiff tethers make a big difference. Such a simple idea, too. Cool how it works out. I failed to get my gear from the truck when it was here last night. Moonshine and chess, and my other buddy throwing up in the front yard...good times. hahaha.

    Way better. I will sometimes use my rope lanyard as a second climbing system and want it for use while ascending (rarely). The bungee has stretch, so it will stay tight without being too tight or too slack, if adjusted properly. The lanyard is a bit tougher. You can simply have an elastic...

    Rather than a 6000# sling, I just use a length of utility cord attached to the body of the ascender (after cutting the handle, I drilled a little hole at the bottom for the cord). I run it down and form a loop with a prussic, so that I can adjust the length for different climbers, or you could...

    You should be able to experiment with the handled one if you desire. One place where the handled ascender works for me easily, is if I hang a pulley on it and set a 3:1 before descending where I will later retrace, like end weight reduction on a conifer (I've been finding its easier with...

    Eric, Jack's video shows the basic concept. I have a advancing clip-in loop on my HH biner. Tech cord structurally tied, eye and eye. I've been playing with it like a hitch climber pulley for a DdRT termination point. My 'floating' ascender is a petzl handled ascender that's been cut off, as...

    Rope walker. Put the sharp teeth below your hitch. Have both hands free. Use an elastic cord for advancing. The HAAS look like its fancy, but a bit bulky. I have a helmet cam now and will try to get some video sometime of my simple walker. After getting used to it, I never look back. A Wraptor...
