Favorite way to ascend rope?

Quick poll: What is your preferred method for ascending a fixed single rope?  No ascenders!  Just the stuff you normally rack

I have used a prussic with a double length sling attached as a foot loop. And a grigri as a progress capture on my belay loop. Not fast but it works. 

Tibloc with a double length sling for the foot loop instead of a prussik, it’s so tiny it’s great to carry in case of an emergency. Gri-gri as back up to capture progress, although in a real shit bind I’ve used an ATC before.

Two Bachmann hitches. I feel bad they didn’t know this back in the golden age of wall climbing. It’s so much easier than a prusik.

I'm gonna have to experiment with this. Currently I carry a prusik&sling and grigri in case I need to ascend. Adding something to grab onto / keep the prusik neat seems useful.

Depends how steep, how fat the rope is, how far I’m going, etc.  I’ve ascended moderate distances before just by yarding on the rope and pulling slack through my atc (non guide mode)

In all seriousness footlocks work on climbing rope, and fall into a bucket of things of things you should know because you can't drop or forget a footlock at home (like a munter). For all sorts of roped activities, being able to stand your weight on the rope whenever becomes pretty useful. For emergency ascent, kleimheist/prusik to your belay loop to capture progress, then footlock to stand should be doable for anyone fit enough to climb. 

I have never had any sucess with the alpine grigri, so my prefered way is two prusiks. A regular prusik highest attached to the harness and a french prusik with a foot lopp attached to the harness. You step into the foot loop on move the upper pursik up, hang from it, and move the foot loop up. Stand up in the foot lopp and start over...
