I'm using the Pantin on my right foot and the foot loop on my left foot. I have a padded chest harness that I've actually attached to the main hand ascender, not the croll. The result is that when I stand up, the connection to the hand ascender on my chest harness immediately captures the progress, which almost completely relieves me of having to use my arms to hold myself upright. This also makes resting much more comfortable because it distributes my weight between the chest harness and the seat harness almost 50/50. I can use this setup to walk up the rope with alternating steps just like a rope walker.
I'm ready for Ellisons now.
Definately easy to frog out of ellisons if you are in shape for it and trained for it. Last time there i climbed tandem out with a gal frogging above me. she started out 150' above and at the top i was only 50' below. She was fast!
granted....i had just bounced the pit so i was a little tired, lol
