    Petzl Tibloc Ascender ?

    I own one, i bought it with the same plan you have but it has been relagated to my gear box, there are just so many ascenders that do a better job with much less wear on your rope, I buy all my rope wholesale from yales factory as mill ends and i still wouldnt want to tear it up like the...

    How often do you replace a split tail?

    the grigri is easily used for ascending and dont let anyone tell you otherwise, all you need is an ascender and a beaner to clip your rope through this gives you a mechanical advantage and self tails the rope, i have climbed on grigris for about 6 years and they work exceptionally well in single...
