Hint, "ease of climbing" is not the number one consideration. Many traditional cavers are very methodical before ever taking a new system in a cave. If you want to actually get this going you should find your local group and find someone that would like to seriously evaluate its strengths and weaknesses outside a cave.

The only thing that can be gained by experimentation and collection of data is misrepresentation and false claims.
