ok first pic.

 

prussik set just above your eye and clipped onto the hitch climber. this is the first stage....possibilities arise her for 2 things, ariel rescue, you can clip the casualty onto the eye, saves carrying extra hardware for the task. another possibility is a possible point to hang your saw from, this would transfer all the weight of the saw away from your harness, could be a nice feature if using a big saw and still roped in. i'll be interested to hear any other suggestions too, we'll see where this goes.

pic 2 shows the eye end used as a re-direct or other second poit of attachment.....this potentially makes your lanyard redundant in some tasks. pic 3 shows that you can alternate between the prussik and the eye, for instance passing branches. i have to play around with this myself but it certainly opens up a lot of new methods to play with! chris cowell shared this with me the other day and it will all be on their website before long no doubt....hopefully he'll pop in here sometime.
