The cost of the equipment for the traditional double rope technique is cheaper which is also a plus. Other than the belt, rope, split tail kit, foot ascender, figure 8, lanyard, helmet, extra carabiner, what else might I need or may come in handy?
I am looking into the Petzl Vario Sit Work Saddle. It is reasonably priced, supposedly comfortable and provides good mobility.
As far as rope is concerned I will possibly go with the arborplex. The only drawback to it which I see is that it is not splicable.
I don't know what carabiners to go with as of yet.
I would appreciate any input you might have on this equipment. Thanks to all.
