Dear All,
First post, so hello and thanks for any replies.
On a lineman's set up, any way to back up an ascender (like ropeman 1) so that you have one handed operation, but if the spring fails or bark gets between rope and teeth then you won't fall? (other than tethering, which I will start doing while I climb next year)
I've searched and can't find anything. I don't like relying so much on a single mechanical item.
Thanks - R
