Advice on srt

[kiersindevon]

Hi guys, been climbing a few years now and always got by with a blakes!! It's quick to set up, and easy to use.

Well now I've been thinking maybe I need a change;) any advice on what to start out with would be great:)

Most ppl use the rope wrench or the hitch hiker. A foot asscender. Normally a hand asscender with afoot loop to make a rope walker system. A few use the unicender. Is like most things climbing related....down to personal choice and not everybody likes the same.

Apparently it's good, as a lanyard positioner.

It's not SRWP specific though.

 

 

Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

Lot of money for a lanyard positioner then:)

Start with the Rope Wrench for the main reasons its the cheapest and the only one with a current CE mark. If you have a pulley and a bit of cord your nearly there, a foot ascender and stiff tether as per manufacturers spec.

 

tie a short slig and crab into a chest loop for added ease of climb and have fun.
