hey bro,

 

this is Matt Glen here. i have invented this idea. it is made by using 1 ascender and a bar going across it as a foot stand. it is amazing! i have been climbing for nearly 6 years and made my life/job so much easier. its great cos aslong as you have your footlocking strop on it doesnt need to be rated, as you are just standing on it. so if you slip you will just fall on ur footlocking strop as if you were footlocking.

 

the higher you go the weight stays the same to, and yet to try it on static rope but cant wait. i am going to set up a 15m ascent and see what times i will be getting hopefully in around 16 seconds. this is just a prototype at the moment and we ( treetools.co.nz) are just making finally adjustments and then it will go on sale.

 

basic thing is, no lifting rope and every lock is perfect. very easy to install and take of line.
