    Secret to not having ascenders "pull" on climbing rope ?

    If you milk the rope back and forth near that spot, sometimes you can pull that strand back into place and won't even notice it anymore. That's not that bad of a pull or pluck as I call it

    Secret to not having ascenders "pull" on climbing rope ?

    You will always need to be more carefull using toothed cams on 24 strand double Braid rope like that. Kernmantles with 32 or 48 strand tighter covers are better for this...
