Rope not tending

[Mark Bolam]

I've just bought a HAAS, which is fantastic, bringing my left leg into play as well as my right on long hauls , works ddrt or SRT.

 

The problem is I have to get to at least 15-20' before the rope weight drops through naturally.

Before then the ascender just pulls the rope up unless a groundie is tensioning the tail, or I have tied a heavy object to it.

I think my rope is to blame, pretty hairy and abused Poison Ivy.

New rope time?

Helpful comments and insane drunken ramblings all welcome.

clip a throwbag/can of stella on the bottom of your line so it hangs just off the ground

Tried all that, nowhere near heavy enough. I had my daughters bike tied on yesterday!

Check it out on YouTube mate.

I love the way it works on both systems.

I just sat my rope bag with the rest of the rope in it on top of the rope. My pantin needed a bit of weight in the rope but the haas was fine. Seemed to work ok.

Hi James just reading your post there made me cast my mind back 20 years...just think we were in the same group doing our blue books and learning how to body thrust with a prussick and now you are using HAAS...!
