Hey TB I am just gonna write about my experience with the kong futura in hopes to get the system working better for me.
I only have used it once and thats not enough to work out the kinks but I thought this device was going to be smoother than it is.
I use a right pantin with the WR (over shoulder lanyard style) and was noticing after a few bigger climbs my hands will get raw from holding on the rope while I step up. So I ordered the Kong futura thinking its just like any ascender. I have never used any other one though. Anyways I was having issues with the WR getting stuck in the base of the futura. I may have been leaving weight on the foot loop but im not sure why it was doing this. The other thing is I seemed to grip the rope above the system with my right hand so hard to keep my balance it made me think a double hand one would work substantially better.
Ugh.. im just kinda disappointed in this addition to my system.. any help would be great..
