I would stand on a chair then clip my harness into the figure eight which would leave me hanging with my feet just off the floor. Then I would clip the upper ascender of my frog system, with footloop, into the rope at a typical height above my harness. From there it was a simple matter of standing and sitting back down over and over again, simulating the frog motion but never moving the upper ascender.

I am planning to go to krubera-voronja next year on one of the expeditions and the Berger cave at the moment still trying to work out the caves i will be able to get into without extensive permission. Do you know any that i might be able to get on an expedition next year?

On the psm there are every year several expeditions. I think that in 2013 or 2014 some Britisch cavers are planning a new dive expé to the Bu56 (-1400m). So they need a lot of people to move the equipement. A one-way trip to -1400 is about 16-20 hours depending on the conditions.
The club where I am member of is doing yearly expeditions throughout the year to the Anialarra- system (+30km / -770m). The main expeditions takes place in august (3weeks).
