Today I went back to Hangdog Climbing Gym in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. I worked with Brook on doing a “Prussick” setup to ascend a fixed rope. We spend a long time figuring out using the gear in the best way. After much trial and error, I managed to get myself up the rope about 4 meters and got the following shot.
