SRT video

[Tom Dunlap]

Take a look at this video of rope climbing to see a couple of different ascent systems. One is a full-on Mitchell RopeWalker there are a couple of people using a Frog Walker too.

Most of the climbing action starts at about 5:00.

Look at their pace and body position. No loss of energy/effeciency because they have their tethers adjusted just right.

Nice find Tom!

Monkeys power with arms, Humans use legs.

These sorts of pictures really help in getting the point across - Use our brains, avoid future pains.

Looks like the secret of using the Frog walker as a walker rather than a hopper, is lots of little bites (avoids ascender clash). I'll give it a go and find out!
