[QUOTE="Lumberjack, post: 126625, member: 3794"] [b]Re: The ultimate device ?????[/b] I bet you could make the i'D work. If you removed the anti mess up cam at the bottom, and left the round piece, you could footlock under it. It would have a little slope, as it would have to invert, but it might be worth it. It would keep the cam from engaging, and straighten the path out on the rope. One big draw back is that you would loose the saftey for threading it backwards. Whatda think Tom? Anybody else notice the poor angle the cam engages the rope? It only grabs with a few teeth and relies more on the teeth digging into the cover of the rope, instead of clamping the rope as most ascenders do. I might even question if it would work as intended, or if it would just pick out a few strands of the rope, and fail. Carl Carl [/QUOTE]
