How To Ascend a Rope.

Gear:

  • Secured climbing rope
  • 2 etriers
  • 2 ascenders
  • Daisy chain
  • locking carabiner
  • 2 standard carabiners
  • General safety gear

1. Fix the ascenders to the secured rope.

2. Attach the carabiners to the ascenders, and then the etriers to the carabiners.

3. Measure your arms length on the daisy chain, and then secure that length to the ascenders with the locking carabiner.

4. With your safety gear on, slide the top ascender up. Place your foot in the etrier attached to the top ascender, and then slide the bottom ascender until it meets the top.

5. Place your foot in the etrier attached to the bottom ascender, and then slide the top ascender as high you can reach.

6. Repeat steps 4-5 until you've made it to the top.
