Howdy,

Got my gear last Friday and have been trying things out low and slow if you will.

Anyways, since I am just going a few feet up and then descending I am forced to learn how to do a up to down change over using the SRT.

I fumbled through it a few times with my figure 8 and my tube belay device that I have always used for rappelling during my rock climbing days.

Seeking a better way, I got a GriGri since it supposedly locks in place a little easier than the figure 8 (I don't like the double wrap on the 8 since it causes even more rope twist) and does not twist the rope.

Anyways, here is my procedure I figured out, I am going to try it this afternoon. Let me know what you think

1. Stand up
2. Move right Ascender up

3. Sit down
4. Attach grigri to rope (under R ascender) and clip to harness
5. Lock rope off above GriGri

6. Stand
7. Remove and store R ascender

8. Sit down
9. Remove L ascender

10. Unlock rope
11. Rappell

For easy memory go

Stand
Right Up

Sit
Clip
Lock

Stand
Right Off

Sit
Left Off

Unlock
Drop


Thoughts?
