I don't dangle from the croll. I disengage that and hang from the double handled ascender. I realize that I'm temporarily hanging from just one toothed ascender, but doing so while hanging still on a rope doesn't bother me. But I agree that not having the Croll connected directly to the...

I use a similar system, except I have the Sequoia SRT, so the Croll is integrated in the harness. It is quite aesy to shift to a figure 8, without having to stand on anything. Kick the Pantin off the rope and hang from the ascender, loosen the croll. This will make the rope hang loose enough...

Read my post again. I specifically pointed out that I always back-up the ascender.

The method I mentioned in post#9 works really good if you are only going up into the tree to do something simple: prune off a single branch, set pullrope or grab a seedsample. That way you SRT up and don't have to change over to anything, just use your ascender as the tie-in point. When done...
