I just got back in the US last night after a 2 week stint in the middle east for work. This thread had me intrigued the whole time.
Anyway, jet lag had me up at 2 am so after an odd look from my wife, I figured I would throw on the headlamp and give Red's method a try in the backyard on a couple different trees.
Wow! This works amazing. The ascender foot loop is money. So simple and it takes all the awkwardness of trying to step into an aider when making a big move, especially with large boots.
On the leaning tree I definitely utilized the adjustability of the linemans belt. I kept it high and large before stepping up. Once I stepped up and pull on the tether rope ascender, I would follow with tightening the lineman ascender which made positioning a breeze. Then I repeated.
I only went up a couple stepps but I can see this is a winner. I just need a better pack for the system. Hats off

This one is money.
