Top rope solo petzl shunt.
Petzl has not developed a device for this activity but certain ascenders may be used for it by experts.
The shunt is unique in that it allso takes double as well as single rope systems from 8mm to 11mm diameter.
I can intermittently reach across squeeze the shunt and slide it up the rope as back up.
Back it up with a microtraxion and youll never have to worry about decking.
Can i use the shunt to self belay.
But this makes a perfect ascender for setting up two fixed lines and doing top rope solo laps by yourself.
Nevertheless fixed rope solo climbing is an option that many climbers have taken experimenting with a variety of technical solutions.
Unweighted so i can easily ab back down shunt attached to harness loop with short sling.
If route hard and sustained shunt also tied to slings around shoulders or neck to keep it upright and always sliding up rope.
