Ascending Prussic/Pantin

[stewmo]

Hi folks,

 

I was watching a vid the other day, with a guy ascending ddrt for the first ascent into tree. Using a prussic around both lines, very smooth as its like SRT, and he was foot locking.

I was wondering if anyone has done this with two pantins instead of the foot locking?

Seems like the easiest way to enter the tree ddrt?

A lot of people are against footlocking for work, due to it's alleged long term affects to your body, but I enjoy it, on the rare occasion it's actually appropriate. Just learn to footlock. Much simpler and cheaper than two pantins. Plus if one kicks out it would be a right fumble to get going again.

I am quite happy footlocking, mainly because you are using two legs at once - hadn't heard of the detrimental effects on the body....just wondering about pantins - as everyone seems to rate them so highly
