speed ascend

[@you2tooyou2too]

Very nice. 50 years ago we called this a caving bicycle rig, because of the 'pedaling' motion of our legs & feet. I used 3 Gibbs ascenders (much like your foot ascender), which provided more drag, so proper posture was critical for drag management & pedal speed. Today, I do most of my climbing above ground, but would replace my chest ascender with a Petzel Nano/MicroTraxion or RollinLock (depending on the environment), and my round bungees (which went thru shoulder biners to the back of my seat harness), with your flat elastic bands & collar strap (which should be more comfortable).

we have been using this teck for years the akimbo is awesome for rope access but if your doing a rescue we switch over to the sirius

that was a great explanation of rope access ! excellent video ..

Ropewalker technic. Old use in speleo.and arborwork

[@bonsaidevelopment1016]

Speleo? Yeah in arboriculture it's pretty norm, was just saying how I'd wasted years climbing w/ JUST foot + hand ascenders, meaning my hitch fully bit every stride & had to tend it w/ my left hand while ascending, I had micropulleys but didn't find them effective so didn't use them/they got dusty....then after splicing a new batch of hitches & deciding to try new hitch-knots, I realized "Oh this hitch would react to a micropulley better" and, when thinking it, realized "wait wait....the knee ascender means the line is always under tension, which'd mean that micropulley would always be able to move the hitch cleanly" (I'd always had my left foot in a foot loop that went to my hand-ascender, figured 'It's just like a knee ascender' lol), got a knee ascender and jeeeebus what a difference, can just climb a line w/ the hitch "ready" to grab but otherwise staying at consistent rate of bite/friction, just a total treat! Do you use a rope wrench? I spent so long thinking "Don't fix what isn't broken" as I could move quite fast w/ my hand-tending-hitch setup, but seeing the difference a micropulley & knee-ascension made has me 2nd-guessing my overlooking of the rope wrench..

[@HappyBear376]

I think Zat Iz Zer Kool. Just never do it at work as inspite of my love of technical rescues that would take too long for my skinny arse to disentangle you from. Looks like a cool bit of kit though.

where can I buy flexible loop could you put the link to buy Thank you

[@bonsaidevelopment1016]

That rope never wants to let the foot ascender slide upward w/o drag, does it?!? lol c'est la vie!! Also FWIW you can usually make a foot cam "rope inescapable" by just putting a carabiner through its hole, for instance I use a Pantin(well, a $15 chinese clone of one :P ) which has a hole that 1 regular 'biner, or 2 micro 'biners, can be put through to effectively "pin" the cam so the line cannot escape the ascender ;) I spent years with just foot+hand ascender (am in arboriculture), I don't use any mechanical hitching/cams for life support like your system did but simply using a friction hitch + micropulley beneath it (tethered to an over-shoulder like yours) does the same function, SO LONG AS you use a knee ascender (otherwise line-tension isn't consistently there when you're not striding on the ascender, and the pulley can't pull the hitch when the line's not under some tension) I went so long w/o realizing that, tending my hitch by hand, just got a knee ascender weeks ago (and added the micropulley under my hitch, so my over-shoulder could tend it upward) and when both feet are tethered to the line at points below the hitch, line-tension is maintained and, like with your mechanical device in this vid, one can simply walk right up the rope it is awesome :D Thanks for sharing the demo, A+ content / thumbs-up'd!! [BTW it's nice to see Mercury rope getting use, I have hanks on hanks of it lol, how are you liking it? TBH I'm left wondering why it's not THE most-popular rope out there considering it's bargain priced yet it's by Samson and is one of the strongest 7/16th lines on earth (that's climbable/shock-absorptive IE not dyneema or aramid fibers, for standard 'person climbing' lines - IE poly's & nylon's - the Mercury line is 8.5k static strength with a 3.5% elongation @10% which means it can take dynamic hits at about 85% of my 1/2" Polydyne bullrope!)]

[@bonnserfing4613]

Отлично.. возьму в практику

[@mindstorm1987]

Moin Axel, gute Technik, nutze ich im Baum auch ;-) Allerdings dort mit einer hintersicherten Handsteigklemme, da mir eine Bruststeigklemme ebenfalls nicht sicher genug ist. Für die SZP ist das TAZ aber wirklich Interessant. Hast du es schon mal in Rettungsübungen getestet? Kommt mir für die SRHT zu klein vor.

[@axelmanz8648]

Hallo Sven, ich persönlich halte das Gerät für die Rettung für nicht geeignet. Meiner Meinung nach ist dafür die Energieaufnahmekapazität des Bremsnockens zu klein. Aber für besondere Zugangsverfahren stellt es eine Wahnsinns geniale Option dar. Also langer, kraftsparender Aufstieg mit schnellem Wechsel zum Abseilen oder Aufstieg und Abseilen direkt auf dem gespannten Schrägseil, das geht nur mit diesem Gerät. Alles was einen Vorteil hat, das hat auch einen Nachteil und Limitierungen.

[@perzyvalsimmons5946]

Hallo Sven, darf ich fragen wie die Hintersicherung der Handsteigklemme bei dir aussieht? Ein Prusik der von der Handsteigklemme geschoben wird?

[@pain548]

whot is the name off that

[@Frysk_Beamwurken]

Moin Axel, erstmal herzlichen Dank für dein Erklärung! Ich habe neuerdings mir den TAZ zugelegt und habe es ausprobiert zum Klettern im Baum: Aufstieg, und als Hansesicherung. Ich habe dazu ein Geostatik 10,5 mm Seil von Gleistein angewandt. Als ich damit abseilen wollte hatte ich eine unangenehme Erfahrung damit: bin 5 Meter abgerutscht und habe mir fast die Beine gebrochen. Ich finde es sehr sehr schwierig denk Punkt zu finden wo das Seil anfängt zu Laufen wenn ich den Hebel zum Abseilen bediene. Ich bin etwa 100kg, das Gerät und das Seil ist neu: ist mein Seil zu dünn oder was mache ich falsch?

[@midoma72]

Du solltest das Bremshand Prinzip beibehalten. Das auslaufende Seil wird mit der zweiten Hand gehalten.

[@axelmanz8648]

Moin Hessel Johannes Hartmans, eine Ferndiagnosse ist sehr schwer. Ich weiß nicht wie Du das Gerät bedienst (Bremshandprinzip eingehalten...usw.). Aus eigener Erfahrung kann ich aber sagen, das ich auch Geräte kenne die wesentlich dezenter zu fahren sind und insgesamt mehr Bremsperformance besitzen. Dieses Gerät wird ganz sicher nicht mein Standardgerät (mein Standardgerät ist derzeit das Skylotec Sirius für die persönliche Anwendung und die Anwendung in der planmäßigen Rettung nach unten, bei der planmäßigen Rettung nach oben steige ich auf das CMC Clutch um), aber für diesen Aufstieg mit schnellen changeover oder zum befahren von diagonalen Seilen ist es eine hervorragende technische Lösung.

The Zigzag might be efficient for tree climbing but it is not suitable for rope access. If you need to switch ropes you dont want to pull the whole rope out of your Zigzag to attach it to another rope.

I really hate how your "flexible loop" & knee device go around your neck & not just clipped to the harness shoulder strap, Chest D or belt respectively. Something about a noose doesn't fit into climbing.
