Short video clip of my evil rope for ascending & descending laps.

  1. I never thought of using ascenders to decend a rope.

    What size static rope do you use?

  2. The ascenders have a little thumb lever for descending, however you have to take tension off the device and reverse your sequence for descending. Ascending requires positive effort and descending requires negative effort. Like doing a pull-up / squat combo when ascending and a negative pull-up (Lower)/ bent knee hanging crunch combo when descending. I have been doing 10 laps, 5 laps left handed & 5 laps right handed to balance out the excercise. I purchased a 7/16" static rappel rope for this project.
