Wait... upside down too? Sheesh. Alright. I'll put that on the list of things to master as well.Everybody know u suppose to be able to use ur gear blindfolded and upside down....I need more practice or u never catching a deer....

Are you using a leg loop? Makes all the difference.Ive been doing a varation of this since the beginning of the season. It has been warm here in Michigan and i am a fat guy but i am sweating so bad when i finally get up the tree. its a work out of me. I had to go back to the one stick.
I'm excited to see this.So, im going to do a build video of my version of this. I just ordered the items listed below ( 1 of each) and this should be everything we need to make the thing. Top tether, both prussiks, and leg loop. I know, its not AMSTEEL, but its the same thing and its what im using now.

24 inch climbing strap. Black.I'm excited to see this.
What length sling will you be using?

That's the part of the build I'm most interested to see. I've tried this without a leg loop and it was just too hard to stay vertical and close to the tree.Are you using a leg loop? Makes all the difference.
He really had a good idea! (or implemented an idea based on some indigenous folks) His first iterations were sketchy though and I think that's what turned many people off to it. I watched his videos over and over until I copied his gear. Then I attempted it a few times. Ended up hot and sweaty and frustrated though. Thought it wasn't for me and tossed everything aside in favor of climbing with the Solo Scout.Been wondering when someone would validate what Scott Adkins has been doing. Really like what I'm seeing here!!!
Had to G-ugle a fifi hook! Could you elaborate on how one might employ it in 2TC?My observation of the 2TC method, from the perspective of an aid climber is that a ball clip, fifi hook, instead of a leg hook might make it less strenuous. It would probably make it slower as the moves would be shorter.
Thanks again for the great ideas!
As you step up onto the lower tether, hook the fifi onto a short prusik Loop on that lower tether from a short Bridge. I believe that would allow you to not have to use your leg hook but I'm not sure of the Dynamics, given the proximity to the tree.Had to G-ugle a fifi hook!
