Thoughts on a simple, reliable, ascender system for SRT. Gots to be rugged.
Ropewalker- foot ascender, floating ascender, elastic cord around neck for keeping Rope Wrench/ Hitch Hiker and hitch upward. Simple and easy. Like a ladder, but with two hands free to grab the rope or nagivate limbs, push away when moving over crotches.
Check out this thread, with pictures. I think it's a pretty good system, though a plain jane Texas inchworm is compact and easy to learn, just not quite so efficient. Holler if you want to explore further discussions.

That's true, but I must say tree climbers frequently try to reinvent the wheel
That is my screen name for "work".WSP, where and how do you attach your floating ascender in you system?
