    Jon, that's about as close to mine as you can get. My elastic is knotted along the length like a rock climbing daisy-chain giving me clip in loops and a thumb catch. What are you clipping to, up top. What advances your climbing system (RW/ HH)?

    Hi Jon, How's Portland treating you? PDX might be a cooler choice than Seattle. When I'm down there sometime, maybe grab a drink. There is a TreeHouse Introduce Yourself thread here somewhere. BTW, there is another Jon from HI here.

    What's up, Jon. Neighbor to the north here. The bungee is compact. A stiffy won't pack when you're done with it. I use a long elastic "daisy chain" that I attach to my HH as well, to advance it. The Croll should work fine, I'd guess. I cut a handled ascender and added a hole at the bottom.

    The Official Rope Walker thread

    ...If I may start an "Official" thread... Since I'm convinced that Rope Walkers are the way to go for climber longevity, short of the Wraptor, I figured I'd start one. Unfortunately, I haven't been having much climbing going on, and my gear is often in the work truck with Erik, so I don't have...
