    \"soft\" combo ascender-descender -videos back up!!! Update: 7-JUL-2010 7:30PM First, I changed the cordage and turns and it works and worked well. In fact it works so well that now I am very uneasy about presenting an experimental system that I have little experience with and no real testing...

    Trunk cinch climbing- see update in OP

    Re: Trunk cinch climbing [ QUOTE ] ...I think that the pole idea would have some hiccups. My idea is that a person would have to do more than lift the pole to advance it, more like lift and work it side to side some. No testing on this end, only armchair imagining.... [/ QUOTE ] Ain't nothin...

    Trunk cinch climbing- see update in OP

    Re: Trunk cinch climbing southsoundtree, Yep that's me, I'd recognize me almost anywhere. And, I'm gonna look a lot thinner by the end of summer. Stress eating Fall and Spring semesters, well... Yeah, there's lots of variations that could customize it advantageously. The main reason I used a...

    Trunk cinch climbing- see update in OP

    Re: Trunk cinch climbing-check the update in OP Thanks guys! GibsonTreeCare, I thought about the VT and wondered how it would do. I wonder if the VT would require a few more wraps to work on SRT due to the heavier loading. I was also concerned that the VT may stretch more than the helical...

    Trunk cinch climbing- see update in OP

    Update: In one of my posts below, I state that the Rig or Grigri could be used as an ascender. It occurs to me the Rig or Grigri can <u>NOT</u> be used. This is a Texas configuration with the foot ascender below the harness ascender. When you stand on the foot ascender you could not move the Rig...

    Footlocking technique...

    [ QUOTE ] maybe its your boots Ron. [/ QUOTE ] LOL - I think it's just me. Actually I think Dave mentioned the boots once too. And I do want to work at it some more (footlocking); it's kind of a matter of finding time when I'm not climbing some other way. I'd sure impress some of my buddies...

    Footlocking technique...

    [ QUOTE ] ...Here's a 'for example'. Ron says [ QUOTE ] even tried cheating, i.e. an Ascentree and two Pantins, and I was NOT impressed with my perfomance on that.[/i] Well, that's no surprise. That's predictable. You give up rope control using pantins, especially the first 20 feet and the...

    Ascender Selection

    [ QUOTE ] Though I've become a Wraptor believer, I still have my MarBar in the tool box. Double CMI's with a horizontal bar that makes the movement like doing pull-ups. It is much more comfortable on the wrists, for a beat-up old fogie like me. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks for adding that; I have been...

    SCREW LINKS! SCREW LINKS! SCREW LINKS!

    I see you too are interested in this exciting piece of hardware. Well, as mundane and unexciting as screw links can be, maybe there's still some helpful things about them. These have come to be my favorites. The delta is a 10mm zicral an aluminum alloy. It is very lightweight and from all the...
