Dave,
I use the Uni with a tether. I have the Uni "extended" on the tether for SRT ascent (Texas sit/stand) and then usually attach the Uni directly to my bridge for working the tree. I have a few revolvers and a selection of rings(from my F8/revolver days) and I will try your suggestion...
Tom,
Thanks for the reminder. I tied safety knots for the first few weeks using the Uni. Occasionally, I still tie them. Maybe I will use them more while I'm testing the Uni with Blaze.
thanks for the input guys,
DSMc, I'm sure that a friction sharing device makes descent smoother, but I don't want to add additional gear to my setup at the moment. I used the F8/revolver system for a while and am enjoying the simplicity of the Uni.
I am really enjoying using Blaze with the...
For the past year, I have been using a Unicender for SRT, primarily with Tachyon. I still find it difficult to modulate my descent with the squeeze and go mode.
I recently tried some old Blaze with the Uni and found that I had: easier release upon initial descent, smoother descent, and...
One last picture that shows the Uni clipped into the upper black biner and the suspender engaged for super smooth self advancing.
Disregard the beeline and prusik cord, I didn't want to untie the tehter system. Also, the little accessory biner clipped into the top hole of the Uni is only...
lync,
I tried a similar system using beeline for the tether for a while, but without the extra biner. I could try adding an extra biner so I don't have to open my life support biner to "shorten the tether."
I have attached a pic of the current system that I'm not happy with. Hopefully this...
Thanks for the welcome Jamin,
I thought about using a Gri-Gri, but I have resistance to using 2 SRT devices together. I'm looking for some other solution with less "moving parts."
thanks again
