I've been reading up on SRT and finally pulled the trigger on the equipment. I'm using a madrock safeguard with 9mm htp. Connect the madrock to my short tether.
For my foot loop ascender I'm using a ropeman 1 for now. I know it's out of spec for the 9mm htp, but it is just for the foot loop and not life support so it seems safe to me.
I was having a hard time balancing so I put a prussic above everything to use as a hand hold to help me lift my upper body while I stand up and pull on the tag end at the same time. My foot loop is just Daisy chain webbing.
I only have about 2 hours of practice in my garage, but I'm digging SRT. A few questions I have for the SRT guys out there....
1 - I'm having trouble keeping the saddle under me while climbing. Any tricks? I'm wondering also if a RCH would be better for this?
2 - Is anybody else using a handle above all the other devices?
3 - Is there any other back up I should be incorporating into this system?
