Tom's belated Christmas present is that he can use SRT at the Geezers.

i think you meant pro-formance.
i like the Kong double ascender; with a sling to place the non-pantin foot in dangling from it's attachmeant krab. Backed up by a VT type hitch, that is then easily converted into a self tending Sailor Gripping type hitch after ascent. This gives more of a walking type balance of power. The 2 handed hold keeps CG more in inline without chest roller or ascender IMLHO. Non-inline CG; increases the work effort i think.
i like running bowline to support; instead of 2/1 d-effect of trunk anchoring. If not ascending to the TIP; i'll place a krab on the end of a rig line into the DBY; to pull it open and down to me after lanyard (and maybe rigging sling) connection. Double connection is not all ways about fail safe; but sometimes most use is for maintaining balance; so you don't use/test safety line(s) in my book. Only things not in balance of pulls/pushes move; until they find/are satiated by such balance of forces/equal and opposite matching of forces. The movemeant is just the residual of the unmated forces; unless tourquing in concert...
The Pantin can also be used for standing on the rig line on ground control's side for helping pretighten with body weight or it's impact. Reaching over to the load side with hand; then gives 2:1 of the hand lift effort added to the body wieght pretightening. Pushing down with leg instead of pulling up with arm, makes the arm give the equal/opposite responding force of the leg lift input; for 2x leg lift + bodyweight pretightening. If this doesn't effect load/flexxing it up/modifying it's distance; then these forces just go into preloading the elasticity of the line. So in that case it is best if the line is elastic, and you are about half way between load and support with these ant-ics.

Tom turned me on to the unicender last year and it has really worked well for me. Foot strap on the left pantin on the right. Rich H spliced a hobble from uni to saddle that is adjustable. Add a croll and 200ft of blaze and you're with the eagles in no time. One step up on the foot strap off comes the croll and you can work the canopy. Made life so much easier for this old man.

Ummmmmmm jest kinda my romatisized view on the working of the common forces of all flings; at least it is easier and more fun to remember like that!

ULTRA-LIGHT CLIMBING!...questions?
D.J. Cox
I'm an undergraduate insect researcher who will be spending 3 months in Meso-America (S. Mexico to Costa Rica) and want an ultra-light climbing system. I want to use 8mm or smaller rope with very little gear. Due to the nature of the sudy, I will be hiking many miles up and down mountain sides and can't afford to carry lots of weight. What would be my perfect climbing system? Considering the very wet conditions, should I use a lock jack with 8mm static? HELP me please.
Jeremy
This is my bud, I have given him alot of ideas. We need your expetise Buzzers. Thanks

Maybe I'm old fashion but I still like the STOP when climbing on single line. Of course it works great when desending and is a little stiff when going up. But I find that if I use a microascender on the line above the stop and clip a carabiner to it then put a small pulley on the carabiner I can then climb back up the line. It is easy to put a throw-line on the microascender to help pull it up the line.

Help me understand this...
You use the Stop [or sometimes called the Creep ] to ascend too by using the Micro to pull the rope up?

I'll do my best.
Yes the Stop is attached to my saddle and the microascender is on the line above the stop. I either run the microascender up with my hand (or pole pruner) or I pull it up the line with the throw-line that is attached to the microascender. Simple enough concept.
When you go lateral on a limb you can either move the microascender out with you or leave it alone but don't forget to bring the tail of your line with you so you can use it to take up slack on the way back in. I'm sure you've seen me demo this technique before at the expo some years back.
If it isn't stormy weather I'll shoot a shot tomorrow for you of the complete set-up. I thought I had one in my collection but can't seem to find it.

The weather outside is a disater so I found a picture from way back showing the concept . The picture should be self explanatory.
When I use a carabiner to secure the false crotch I put a throwline in the carabiner to help assist pulling up the microascender.

I haven't tried the Petzl Stop. Does it creep? How quick can you descend? Is it fast enough to jump from one place to another?
