SRT Ascent to Descent proceedure 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
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?

       Who stands in his pride alone!
  And still flourish he, a hale green tree,
       When a hundred years are gone!
