    Knee and foot ascender

    I was wondering about those super cheap ascenders. I was gonna get some but they’re so cheap, are they just as strong? Will they break?

    Knee and foot ascender

    They’ve bought me 400ft of kmIII rope, new lanyards, new cushiony pads for my gaffs/spikeys so far, they said they’d buy me whatever i asked for. I know i should take advantage of it, but it doesn’t feel right to just send over a list of everything i want, so i usually just ask for what i...

    Knee and foot ascender

    Not sure if this is where I’d post this, but I’m thinking of making a foot ascender and a knee ascender. i have a petzl hand ascender, a climbright rope grab(probably won’t use because have to run entire rope through it to detach it, so I’ll probably just buy a foot or maybe a chest ascender...

    In the winter you’ll be able to do a ton of work/trees, but in the summer you’ll definitely notice a decrease in how much you’re able to do. It’s not even summer yet and it’s already gotten to 110 Fahrenheit. You can drink all the water you water, wear sunscreen, do whatever you think would...

    Is this safe?

    I’ve got a hitch climber set up, just haven’t got a rope wrench as well. The hand ascender was given to me, i got the traxion a few years ago when i was a stagehand and i just thought i could use it again and not have to buy anything else. Money isn’t really an issue, it would just be slow to...

    Is this safe?

    Which hitches do you suggest trying? It’s also much easier for me to ascend with my system, which was another reason i didn’t really use the hitch climber system, and srt with no rope wrench. im asking if it’s safe to ascend this way, not if it’s a lot of work to switch to descending...

    Is this safe?

    I wouldn’t really have to if the traxion is in pulley mode, i just have to have long enough rope. Going through the ascender(the ascender staying where it clipped to), then through the traxion, back up to instead of the pulley, a carabiner, then a separate carabiner would create a second point...

    Is this safe?

    I am unable to descend at a moments notice if i am in the process of ascending, but if i add a carabiner to my hand ascender on the top ring and switch the traxion to pulley mode, i can run the rope through and use that to descend quicker than i can set up the figure 8, but it adds some sharp...

    Is this safe?

    And i connect the hand ascender to my harness in the event that the progress catch/rope grab of the traxion fails, my hand ascender will catch.

    When in tree, i am tied in with a wire-in rope and rooe grab lanyard from waist d ring to waist d ring. to descend, i have to unclip all of that stuff and clip it to one of my side loops on harness to hang there till i need again. i will then set up my figure 8 and descend. Otherwise, i...

    Is this safe?

    Don’t know if i posted in the right section. when i do anything except palm trees, i use a friction saver, my rope through the friction saver, i have a alpine on the small ring side, and the line i ascend and descend from on the large ring side. The loop of the butterfly is not through the...
