HAAS Connecting point

Richard, can you elaborate on how the BOTS negates the benefit of the HAAS or SAKA?

The benefit of the HAAS or SAKA is the compactness. With a BOTS you have the same bungee or maybe more exposed over your shoulder. Still it works and a climber can be as fast and efficient in the climb, whatever it takes to get the knee ascender to recoil. The other issue with most knee ascender/foot ascender (rope walking) configurations is that now you have to tend your multicender as well, thus the LOTS or HUT. So now you have a LOTS/BOTS which sounds like a LOT to have hanging over your sholders, probably have enough burdens on the shoulder already, right?

Thanks, I'm tracking.
