    Aider off platform

    How many guys use an aider on their platform? I want to try 2 sticks w/ moveable 3 step aider plus a 1-2 step aider on platform but need to play with it and figure how to attach it to platform.

    Rappelling-madrock safeguard on hunter safety lifeline rope

    Been trying the Safeguard on rope I have on hand (hunter safety lifeline rope- maybe 12mm) which I expect is much cheaper than the Sterling ropes many seem to use. I was wondering if anyone has had any comparison for how Safeguard works on quality rope vs this rope. Have not managed a smooth...

    Amsteel daisy chain as rope mod

    Anyone know if OK to use 7/64 daisy chain as Rope Mod when a loop doesnt come close enough? Been trying this on 1st stick with no issue, but not enough to trust it- seems very solid. I love the daisy chain when it hits a loop close or can turn the stick to make a loop and crank back vertical...
