Foot ascender Ddrt

[Adam Bourne]

So come on guys and gals how many of you Ddrt climbers regularly use a foot ascender whilst climbing??

 

It's just a hypothetical question that's all

Just on the occassional big tree, and only if it looks like i'm going to need to do a lot of up and down work.

Guess she's waiting for the day your arms are crippled from all that upper body usage!!

 

Seriously though they are great tools, glad some of you are using them!! It amazes me how many question why??

I wouldn't say regularly but if its a long way up with lots of messing about then definitely. Hitch climber and pantin can be your best friends when trying to make life easier on the body.

Hand ascender or croll with footloop also to help share the load.

Only use my pantin when my rope is in thin air, away from anything etc
