I like this idea!

Ok.... cool thing that will get its own thread when I figure it out.

Climbing with Stirrups on a tether/Ropeman is pretty great. You set the foot tether as high as you can reach. Step up and take out the slack on your harness, hang and adjust the foot Ropeman up as high as you can raise your knees. Rinse and repeat...you never take your feet out of the loops.

At some point you have to stand in the stirrups and move your harness tether up as high as you can. A secondary connection from your harness to the foot loop tether will keep you from falling if you mess up your harness tether while advancing. I'll probably eep some slack on that. We'll see.

Two Ropeman is probably easiest. I used a GriGri2 but you have to keep locking it after you unload it

Ok so how long is your tether? I got a set of short stirrups I may give this a try on!

and what rope are you using?

It's my normal tether. About 8' after knots, Yale Bandit. Bandit stays on the tree well when you set it and it is easy to move as well.
