Hello All,
First off it should be said I climb tree's maybe once a week more for enjoyment and exercise than for money... having said all that I have a question about flip lines:
Thus far in my not so long carreer I've had two different flip line setups... the first was two four foot three braided lines with locking clips on them. From that I went to an adjustable 6 foot three clip with a prusik knot system.
I'm now looking to go with a steel core flip line. Although I have no idea how to rig it. I imagine that the petzl ascendor is used in place of the friction knot and the open end of the flip line is hard mounted to the harness?
I appreciate any feedback you guys can give and am praying I don't get flamed for being a non hard core tree climber.
