advancing a rope wrench

[carlos]

a friend has started using a rope wrench and vt knot with a  shop bought stiff tether, he is using a sling around his neck to advance, it doesent seem great so just wondering what others are using with this set up. ? 

thanks carl.

Chester.

Aye the Chester or Stein ... if he likes tying his hitch loose then a neck tether, personally I prefer a neck tether.

[Jon@CareFell]

+1 for neck.

Lanyard over the shoulder personally. One less thing to forget / worry about up the tree

Used a sling over my shoulders but it's not great. Thinking of buying something better.

Bunjee cord on a hand ascender cause im a cheap skate bastard.

Chesty would be preferable for me.

Lanyard over shoulder works well too

thanks for your replies, it dosent seem like there is one stand out method then so i guess he will just have to find out which works best for him.

interesting - even with a haas and a foot ascender you still have to hold the rope, so no harm in adding a few extra grams of ally to the tangle
