Do nothing without a camera switched on; pay attention to each filter preset available; and from the beginning think what social media platform you're aiming for." |

Winter months in the PNW have me thinking about walls. I've always been able to haul 1-1 on several El Cap routes (I'm 6'1"/197 lb) but I would love to get some feedback on my first go at a 2-1 ratchet. I also experimented with a "frost draw" (wired #8 stopper actually) attached to the micro-trax but changed it up with the large carabiner in the upper pully that spans the pully down to the micro-trax. I have 7mil cord and the cheaper SMC pully low as it only rotates at half the rate of the upper and more efficient petzl pully. Judge away...

Enlarge this photo, buy exactly these items, set it up exactly this way and then learn how to use it. Don’t bother trying to reinvent the wheel. |
