  3. thanks mate, Ive never climbed on a rope wrench, thought about getting one at the APF but for me they seem to be a solution to a problem that doesnt realy exist (for me anyway) As far as i can see, the main benefit apart from ascending and the ability to work whilst ascending is not having friction when you redirect. I find a well planned climb solves the problem and if i have to redirect to get to a section il install one that can be retrieved when i retrieve my rope guide and make sure thats my last station before i descend
