Hi all.
I bought climbing gear from Bailey's.
I have a couple of questions.
I got up about 8'. That's as far as I wanted to go using a croll and a hand ascender with foot loop. I got up there and had a heck of a time attaching the descender/relieving the tension off the hand ascender. How does one do it? Do you ascend with the rope attached to the descender? I didn't.
I have a pantin. Would using that help?
I have a Bee line prusik. How do you keep that going up with you as you climb using above equipment? I tested that just at ground level. Once it tightens you need one hand to move it along as you go up.
Any videos or tips would be greatly appreciated.
