DIY hanging belay chair 30-Jun-2011 At 8:38:05 PM bendi

Thanks M9, much appreciated. I have since made a simple chair with wooden plank and prayer mat, works a treat. thank you.

I need to access all areas of the wall, while enjoying the comfort of the chair. I have been descending and getting in place on a single fixed line, attaching the chair with Jumar at arms lengths sitting comfortably and safe. I need now to traverse the wall, using a second rope to get to another spot on the wall. So i traverse the second rope, if i attach to my gain on the second rope to my harness it pulls me off the chair, i don't want to attach to the jumar (worried to much presseure on the teeth could do damage) dont want to cross load stuff etc etc, plus its at a arms lenght and hard to manage. is there a simple solution to get into a position, that you must use to ropes two do so, and then sit comfortably and still be able to easily adjust my position on the wall with out having to do a 100 step process? am i missing something simple?

i have 2 ropes, prussics, gri gri, reverso and a chair and i dont want to get all industrial access protocol.

advice, good links/tutorials?

dont feel obliged to answer unless you would like to shed some light on this

cheers
