What I meant by feeding it in was.... oh I just looked at your public forum and your 6'6 which may not apply to big guys. On D.R.T. when you have 60+feet of tail weight on your rope I have found (beeing 165lbs) that the rope wont just feed into the descender you have to physically feed part of it in. My weight wont overcome the tail weight. You said that you use your rack as a friction device in rigging as well
Hve you ever seen anyone use one of those Lock Jacks from Sherril? Kinda spendy but neat
