Knee Ascender attachment

Hey,

 

Those that use knee ascenders, how do you attach them to yourselves?

 

I've tried some bungee cord to my bridge, but my weight transfers onto it.

 

I've also tried it strapped around my knee but it sits at a funny angle and doesn't flow very well.

 

I have petzl croll.

 

Thanks,

 

Mark.

You are trying to make your own ascender rather than buying one of the ready made ones I take it?  You need to make a foot stirrup of some description, then run an approximate 12" piece of webbing from that to your croll.  then a piece of bungee from the croll to your bridge.  I will try and find a pic
