OK, I'm liking what I see here, but have some questions. Can someone please give me a run-down on the procedure to use this.
I primarily use ladder stands now, but an occaisional trip with a climber does come up.
I'm assuming that with the ladder stands, I'd want a line run from the bottom of the stand to the top ("anchor" line) and just tie off with a prusik to that line and slide it up the anchor line as I climb and descend. What type rope do you use the the anchor line and the prussic? The instructions say the "anchor" line should be larger. What size do you use for that? What size would you use for the prusik? Do you need tension on the "anchor" line to hold it in place?
My safety harness doesn't have any webbing in front. It comes across the shoulders and around the legs. Where do you anchor to your safety harness? How do you anchor to the safety harness? Do you tie off the ends of the prussic, use a carabiner, or what? Pictures would be great!!!
How would you use this with a climber? I'm envisioning some kind of toss up with a loop in the end to get around a limb. If so, you would basicall need double the rope to toss up and then get the loop back down. Then a second piece for the prussic. Does that make sense.
The older I get, the less risks I want to take.
