1. Using the adjustable cow's tail on the handled ascender
2. Valdotain Tresse (VT Prusik)
3. Purcell Prusik
4. Chest Ascender (Rope Access Style)
5. Regular Prusik
Corrections:
2. I grabbed the VT a little too hard for a faster-than-desired release... sorry.
3. When using the Purcell, I probably could have stopped the knot to within about 2 inches of the descender, but I don't know if that would have mattered in my inability to remove the Purcell due to reach.
4. When showing the use of the chest ascender, I was using SRT & had no backup/belay in place. You should always have a backup system in place when working or rescuing.
