Few more questions Mark:

• How long did it take Eric to ascend?
• Who was the other climber with you? They never showed his face or mentioned his name.
• Why didn't they show the descent? I bet Eric enjoyed that part more than going up.

Oh yeah, did you watch the whole episode? In the final segment they were shooting bait/line/hook 300 yards out into the surf from the beach with something real similar to the APTA launcher.

Eric was really good especially for his first time. He broke the clips on the rope walker twice (probably my fault) so it slowed him down (and tired me out having to climb up a fix it then bail, then repeat). He was up there in 5 minutes or so.

The other climber was brian Noyes. He was critical for the speed and safety of this and should've been referenced at least! Robert Phillips helped a ton and worked the ground for us. And none of this would've happened with out Jerry Beranek getting the spot!

Noticed you were using a lead weight as a throwball instead of a normal throw weight. What is the reasoning? Thanks.

That's how Jerry taught us the first time. It's lighter and can be shot over 200' with a standard big shot. Thanks Jerry!

What clips broke??

Brian had plastic clips attaching the bungee to the foot ascenders.
