    Kingsdale Master Cave incident on Sunday (06/08/23).

    Probably not. It has never done it before and worked fine afterwards. I may have just been operator error.

    Kingsdale Master Cave incident on Sunday (06/08/23).

    It's possible I guess. Even standing up in the foot loop so that all my weight was off it, I still couldn't release the rope out of it. Very strange.

    Kingsdale Master Cave incident on Sunday (06/08/23).

    Yes, I'm not sure what happened at all. It worked fine on a rope I rigged up at home afterwards, but I'm certainly wary of using it again.

    Kingsdale Master Cave incident on Sunday (06/08/23).

    Absolutely no idea. I was only 4 or 5 feet up. It just wouldn't feed through. It was as if the cam had twisted slightly and got stuck. I tried everything to get my weight off it and release it but it wouldn't budge. It's a CT Evo and it's the first time I've ever had a problem with it.

    Can I just say a huge thank you to the two guys who helped me out of the Kingsdale master cave on Sunday after my chest jammer got stuck on the rope and I had to cut it. I am extremely grateful.

    Foot ascender swap anyone?

    Hi all. I have a right-foot CT Quick Step that I would like to swap for a left-Foot ascender. It is as new and has never been used underground, only on a few practices above ground. I bought it without looking into it properly, as I use a right hand petzl basic ascender, and don't get on well...
