I've been using the frog system for over ten years.
New Tribe Frog Climbing System
"CMI Ascemder Kit"

I can hit 70ft. with a hand tossed throw line and in this case it may take me up to a dozen throws to get what I want. It looks like the first limbs are at 35 to 40ft. Toss the throw line up over five or ten branches and pull the climbing rope into the tree. Anchor one end around the base of the trunk with a running bowline. Climb SRT up the other end. When in the tree lanyard in and have your buddy untie the running bowline and use the climbing rope is a standard DbRT.

Of course the dual ascenders cost $200. I use mine all of the time and they have paid for themselves many times over. It is quite easy to climb srt 70 or 80ft. This is a very easy to use system.
