Roped Soloing - Who Does It? (for OP) 19-Jan-2008 At 6:08:14 PM Shez

I love the focus I experience while top-rope soloing...it's a good opportunity work on both physical and mental techniques of a route without distraction. It's also a nice backup in case a partner bails.

I use the Singing Rock Locker with a prussik for backup. I like that the Locker has no teeth, allows me to downclimb, and catches quickly if I fall(which I have). It is similar to the old Yates/Troll Rocker device(same patent, new manufacturer).
