Rope Walking Without a Knee Ascender

- Since filming this video last fall I've revised this system a bit. If the system works good for you and you want to spend a little money to improve it, I've found that adding some small carabiners (like the DMM XRSE) to the neck tether and the foot lanyard make things both safer and easier to use.
If you use another carabiner for your makeshift knee assender, you can clip it into the main carabiner. Then when you arrive at the height you can unclip it without unclipping life support.
While I do plan on switching to a rope-walking setup, an instructor once told me that any kind of lanyard/rope around your neck is considered a strangling risk and as such a big no-no. Maybe I'll find an option to get that done by attaching something on my suspenders. Thanks for the inspiration!
Really dig it
Nice one. Got to try this!
Cool setup. I often (out of laziness) climb with just the foot ascender, so kinda one-foot-it. In your rig are you actually moving yourself up the rope with that left foot loop, or is all actual mass-lift happening with that right leg? I can't quite tell. Good stuff man
Great demo on your walking system. You are a great teacher and make everything look easy and easily understood. Thanks and blessings to you.
Great! I’m climbing 120 ft dead Ash and am so ready to try foot and knee ascender with my Chicane and Zigzag plus! This video is heaven sent! Thanks Zack-
I love this kinda stuff. Good find🤙
Nice👍🤔😉MICHIGAN 🇺🇸
Good idea I have to try that
I just picked up the Saka foldable yesterday, along with a rope wrench and a tree motion pro, and some accessories. Can't wait to get this harness together and give it a go 😊
Enjoyed the video. Neat set up. I don't care for knee ascenders and prefer a method similar to yours. Thanks for posting.
I knew this long long ago like around 2000s . I learned almost this exact set up from an coolest Japanese guy. I called him " Krazy climber "😂 he was using sling as chest harness . Even tho, i knew this set ups, i bought myself a knee ascender just to help this industry tho . 😂 Great Video !🎉
Great video! I had to shorten my bridge for the ZigZag. Thank you. Have a blessed week.
Awesome demo! Thats my exact SRT setup, same rope too 😅 I ended up buying a knee ascender just to try it out.
Very innovative! Thanks for sharing.
Been watching you for a while but only just seen this. I like it as I’m cheap and don’t like spending money on stuff that isn’t exactly necessary. Lots of tree men are like magpies and love shiny things, I like things that work and don’t need much extra money. I got loads of bits of rope can’t wait to try this. Thanks again from the UK
Sweet video. I enjoyed this from Burlington, Vermont. Keep em coming!
Thanks for the lesson! Stay safe!
Great video. You make it look so easy.
