Both chestie and neck tether will be more comfortable than using your lanyard. Using either one will also keep your lanyard free to use as intended.

That's interesting, Sean, because I feel that incorporating the bungee inside the attaching foot tether was a tremendous improvement in the world of knee ascenders. They have been around for a long time but never really took off mostly, I believe, from the fiddly nature of having an exposed bungee.

Just because you use the foot ascender by itself doesn't mean you need to use just one leg. Clip in and step on your instep with your other leg and use both. Habitually using one leg will eventually cause over use problems.

No, the CT just stays on for the duration of the climb. There are several really good foot ascenders but for me the reason I considered the CT the best for rope walking is the small size, rounded shape, a locking mechanism, and a comfortable strap. As you develop your SRT climbing, you will...

There is nothing that works better than a knee and foot ascender combination, with a chest harness holding up your friction device. Having a hand ascender with foot loop over your friction device encourages bad form and will not come close. HAAS Velox or SAKA mini for the knee ascender and a...

If you are having trouble staying upright, keep the bridge closer to you. Each adjustment needs to be tried, a small change can make a significant difference.

The lower D ring placement controls where the bridge pivot point is. From what you have said about being top heavy, I would suggest setting them relatively high. That will help you to stay upright during a rope walk.

We will have to disagree then and that's OK. I thought is was in terrible form when Richard first posted free instructions online on how to make a HAAS, shortly after Michael introduced it, and then a short time later pulled those and started selling the SAKA.

Richard is a great guy but man, he really pushed the boundaries on the HAAS patent when he made the SAKA. It was no surprise to me when they defended what they had and I certainly cannot blame them for doing so.

Not the upgrade I was envisioning, but that's awesome, Jonny!

They are great for full suspension, period! I predict a harness upgrade in your future.
