My 8 year old grandson is going to be staying with us for a week this summer and I think he'd really like climbing. I have a youth harness for him and a variety of hardware. A few years ago I watched a climbing contest where they had a system set up for kids to use. It was a 3:1 self-tending system connected to another rope that allowed a person on the ground to lower the kid if they couldn't figure out how to lower themselves. Another person on the ground could control the descent if the kid started dropping too fast, or help hoist the kid if they were having trouble. It used a mechanical for climbing/descent. I don't have such an animal, but have an HHX and rope wrench setup where one of them could probably work.
I don't remember the details of how it was setup, though. I do have a 2 pulley trolley with upper attachment hole, and that seems like it could be used. I also have tons of rope, a portawrap, variety of micropulleys, biners, hitch cord, HH2, HHX, and rope wrench. My grandson weighs about 60 pounds. When my 5 year old granddaughter shows up, I'm sure she'll want to climb too. She's a peanut size. Maybe 40 pounds or less.
Any ideas on how to set things up? I'm basically an SRT guy, so this moving rope thing has me a little confused.
