Is there a particular technique for ascending using a Petzl Pantin in addition to a normal 'frog' SRT rig?
I got given a Pantin a couple of weeks ago and decided to give it a go when coming out of Rowter last night. Trouble is that every couple of steps it decided to unclip itself from the rope. After about a dozen atempts I gave up and reverted to the basic 'frog' technique.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong. One thing I need to say is that the spring on the Pantin is a lot weeker than my other ascenders. I don't know if it's supposed to be like that.
