@sunguramy @JohnAltringham I've never done this sort of thing, so I'm very curious about the re-ascent, both from a process and experience perspective.

@mhoye @sunguramy Process - you have two toothed 'clamps' that slide up the rope freely but bite into woven sheath of rope when pulled down. One attaches to your chest, the other you control with your hand(s), with your foot/feet in a loop hanging from it. Push hand clamp up, stand up in loop, chest clamp slides up freely - take weight on chest clamp, slide hand up. Repeat, repeat, repeat...
Experience - If reasonably fit and have good technique, surprisingly easy and rapid. And you feel secure.
