Drastically FAILING at SRT Climbing (Petzl Croll, Hand ascender, foot ascender, knee ascender)

[@chtclimbing]

Dude you are hilarious. I been climbing now over a decade. Watching you fail at SRT brings me back to my first time trying SRT. Here’s a tip. Attach a throw bag to the bottom of your access line in a way that when you put your weight into the line, the throw bag is suspended. This should help with your foot ascender issue. Any way keep learning man and keep posting.

Thank you brother! I’m glad I could be some nostalgic memories 😅🌴🌴

[@mattbrad788]

I use an old kinda broken foot ascender with two throw bags near the bottom of the rope for the weight. Works graet

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Thank you 🙏🏽

Ive been teaching my 13 year old boy how to climb, he used the petzl foot and knee ascender together for the first time last saturday, with zig zag pro. he had no trouble getting up, but couldn't get the foot and knee ascender off while quite high 😂 the foot ascender works much better with a chest ascender or knee ascender btw. Scrap the hand ascender. Its like walking up a ladder with foot and knee/chest ascender. And. so your rope aint swiirling, attatch it to your achainsaw on the ground

Your son is already thriving compared to most climbers

[@lupillosantiagotreeclimber]

Eso te está pasando porque tú ascendedor de pies está muy arriba necesitas ajustarlo que te quede más abajo para que la soga corra bien el ascendedor de rodilla también se tiene que ajustar amigo todo y tienes que tener cuidado con el croll porque lo puede abrir con el hand ascender trucha con eso

[@mr.benitezhimself]

I have to adjust the foot ascender because it’s high up on my foot. Same with the knee ascenders and to be careful with the Petzl croll because the hand ascender can sometimes pop the croll open, to keep an eye out for that. 🌴 hope that helps

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Muchas gracias amigo! Como le Mande mensaje en Instagram! Voy a ajustar el foot ascender y el knee ascender. Y comprar otro croll/basic para mas seguridad 🌴🌴🌴

[@jasonpinckney2178]

Fort the foot ascender, add a weight like a couple throw weights or a large bundle of rope. With the knee ascender you need a bungee attachment up to your chest so it pulls the knee ascender along the rope as you climb. Either with or without the knee ascender you need weight at the bottom of your tope

[@jacobwilson3316]

For the foot ascender I bundle rope up just off the ground to create weight then when I redirect I can pull rope up and unbundle my wad of rope, if you connect your knee ascender with rope to hand ascender when you lift with hand it lifts knee ascender, I use the Hauss which connects to bridge with a bungee which automatically lifts it when lifting foot, with hauss ascender I use a rope wrench with self tending friction hitch! Be safe

I've been using the petzl RAD system with the ID. Took me a while, but now I like it.

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Nice!🌴🌲🌳

4:54 hand sanitizender lol

[@mr.benitezhimself]

😂😂😂😂😂 COVID 19 got me sayin hand sanitizer 🌴

[@integritytreecare4794]

Maybe you should get a chicane and just ascend with the zigzag. Take small strides if you use the foot ascender and the foot ascender. You could try weighting the rope below you to better help the rope pass through the foot ascender.

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Integrity Tree Care thank you for the advice my friend

[@megadosevitaminc8774]

1st few times doing SRT i failed bad, so frustrating. Does the knee ascender have a bungee tompull the slack out?. Also knee ascender will not work till u r up a bit so the rope has some weight to pull it down. Also ehat size and kind of rope. Ifnits too bignit will kot slide through the ascenders good. I finally got the hangnof it and climb mainly. I do not have a hand ascender th. Good luck.

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Yes it has the bungee and I clip it really high to my chest harness but still have some trouble. This is a 1/2 rope. The zigzag takes it well but not the rope wrench. Thank you for watching my friend, climb safe 🌴🌲💯

[@megadosevitaminc8774]

@@mr.benitezhimself . I use a 1/2inch rope too. The foot ascender i gotta jiggle my foot for a ways up to get it to go. It definitely takes a bit to get used to. I thought I wasn't gonna get it the first 2 or 3 times. Good luck out there.

[@chtclimbing]

The SAKA has a pulley in it to take the slack out of the bungee cord. I made one, perhaps you might be interested in making your own. If so I made a video on how to do it.

[@darinmendez33]

I 100% belt like this was my first SRT, exact same equipment and everything. But once I get used to it, I really enjoyed it.

[@mr.benitezhimself]

It’s a lot of fun when you can get it down 💯🌴🌴🌴

[@user-gi3xj8nz3s]

Great video, just wondering also Can one practice using climbing equipment like yours in the parks will they tell you something?

[@mr.benitezhimself]

We haven’t been kicked out, out of any park. Sometimes I practice on trees that my clients don’t mind me hanging around for a few years etc🌴

[@1stFlyingeagle]

put some weight hanging on the line close to the ground.

[@seferinogarcia264]

Just be careful bro don't use it if you don't feel comfortable or test the equipment on small trees cuidado bro

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Will do, thank you my friend 🙏🏼🌴🔥

[@brerrabbit4265]

if you are going to use a hand ascender, you might as well just use a foot loop with it and toss the foot ascender. You don't need all that gear to climb a rope. Knee ascenders are just stupid. I also do not see a carabiner on your hand ascender to prevent it from opening up. WTF?

[@lucfournier3939]

I think your climbing rope is a bit toobig

[@mr.benitezhimself]

1/2 inch is too big for the rope wrench for sure 💯🌴🌲🌳
