Thanks Judge.

is most SRT, does the croll not back up the ascenscion and the ascencion backup the croll? or is it recommended to have another? would be too much bother if so imo

[coolie]

The way I understand it,is yes,the croll is your backup for ascension.Its what I depend on.

I can see you shop at the same place as us(Timbersaws) in regard to all the cmi gear.I will avoid the cmi v petzel debate because I see it as a personal preference choice, but I will say that if you have used a cmi only then you would have to adjust your technique if you were to use a pantine.Pantines are designed to be able to disengage or re-engage the rope using only the foot that it is strapped to and a good technique has to be learnt to avoid disengageing when you dont want it. Cmi requires manual engageing and disengageing.

i beg to differ the standard that assenders are made under starts' personal protective equipment against falls from height', further, it lifts, supports lowers a load, basic definition of loler.

 

as for crulls and things, in true rope access running a true back up crull counts as half attachment point which is why there should be a secondary back up point. ie a jane to the assender.

 

as for pantine that is deffo an aid and does not have to be lolererd, but the genneral requirments of PUWER apply so it must be maintained inspected and ensure that it remains fit for its intended use, so to do a moor rigourouse inspection such as loler would not be an issue.

 

cheers
