Expert Techniques

1. Push the BASIC up just under the knot. Do not jam it against the knot, to leave room for opening the cam.
While standing in the footloop:
- Connect to the anchor with the short lanyard
- Remove the CROLL
2. Hang from the lanyard and reposition the CROLL above the anchor.
3. Move the BASIC above the CROLL. Transfer your weight to the ascenders by taking up the slack rope under the CROLL. Make sure that they are locking. Remove the lanyard and continue your rope ascent. The rope is free for the others.
Tip
Starting on an angled rope: put a leg over the rope to make its angle parallel to the CROLL's rope channel.
