SRT Q & A's Thread

[Gerbutt]

Agreed. Dont tether ascenders to yourself above the wrench incase of a fall and rope shredding. I find hand ascender and footloops too busy also. HAAS/rope rocket and a pantin for me!

 

The HAAS does look good! Did you make your own?

[BenR]

I certainly did make my own. 9mm tenex spliced short whoopies footloop. Tiny maillon to the croll and then elastic for the top part. Use thick elastic 4/5mm. Has more pulling power and cuts in less if you run it over your shoulder

You got a picture of it mate?

 

I know you've posted it before but can't remember what thread

[BenR]

Haha yea im sure ive posted it before too! I will just take another photo as I cba trawling for it. Plus I have nothing better to do! 5 mins

Here you go guys: the ben minty setup. Merry xmas:001_tt2:

 

For hands free ascent I use a webbing sling twisted into an 8 shape with a revolver around the line above my device. Make sure it is asphxsi-wank tight around your chest! Dan knows what im talking about:thumbup1: Keeps you dead close to the line so you can relax and lean back into it a bit. Saves your arms getting tired on long ascents:thumbup:

Thanks Ben, does the elastic run over your shoulder and clip to the back of your harness?

[BenR]

Certainly does mate. As you can see i need a new piece. Bodged it with a tiny alpine

[softbankhawks]

The way I see it is if your chest harness is tight enough your bridge ring does just fine for the top attachment - cuts down on extra transportable gunk too.
