In climbing or mountaineering the rope team offers the highest level of safety.
Top rope solo petzl shunt.
If route hard and sustained shunt also tied to slings around shoulders or neck to keep it upright and always sliding up rope.
Back it up with a microtraxion and youll never have to worry about decking.
Nevertheless fixed rope solo climbing is an option that many climbers have taken experimenting with a variety of technical solutions.
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.
Petzl has not developed a device for this activity but certain ascenders may be used for it by experts.
No the shunt is not recommended for self belaying because of the risk of the cam jamming in an overhang situation.
