It is preferable to use
the right-foot PANTIN, in
conjunction with CROLL
and ASCENSION rope
clamps.
Tip: fi x the footloop
to the left leg with
elastic loops. When
walking, the top end of
the footloop is simply
clipped to an equipment
loop (see drawing). The
left-foot PANTIN is not
recommended for this
confi guration, because of
the increased complexity
of passing rebelays.
- Climbing with both legs
simultaneously
Push with both legs at the same
time (more comfortable and more
power).

The two PANTINs,
right and left foot,
are employed using
double rope technique
in conjunction with an
ASCENTREE handled rope
clamp.

- Climbing using alternate legs
One leg after the other (very fast). The
TORSE C26 shoulder straps must be
looser to allow the chest to remain
upright. This technique requires good
physical fi tness and serious training.
It is easier to introduce yourself to this
technique where you can be in contact
with the rock face.
