Thanks for the bump, Aaron!

It's in the pipeline. It sure is exciting to know that someone with the ability to make a great product has taken interest. I'm eagerly awaiting the first few renditions. I will surely keep posting as I'm able on this thread.

Thanks so much, Matt. I really appreciate the support. Oh, and welcome to the Buzz!

Oceans, thanks for the welcome , and really your design is great... I want one!
I've been mulling over creating an marbar that I can take on and off as a kit to my ultrascender...
something simple like this :

Following this with interest. It's an inspired Oceans and surely sell a lot of them when you're ready with it.

Oceans, read your comments as well as others about the cmi single cam double hands being the go to but passed it as well because of bulk. This is the first time I ran into this thread. Cool stuff.

Thanks, guys. I really appreciate the support. I think this thing could really change how everyone looks at the double handled ascender.

Matt, you found that on Storrick's site? He's got everything there! Well, most everything.

That looks like it's for a climber's feet?

One that I made a number of years ago. Greg Liu had a friend machine the aluminum.

The metal bracket on the left end of the single is the buckle from the original Pantin

Sometime during the late Pleistocene...

Yea that guys site is basically a treasure chest of inspiration for people who like to tinker with gear. Its an insane collection.
Yea that is the bottom ascender I believe, and probably just a normal jumar set up was used as an upper.

I reference his site often for ideas.

Almost...actually probably over 20 years ago now...in the prehist0ric SRT days

Tom, I salute you!

This looks like the beginning of a pretty cool RADS setup
