Thank you New Guy. I watched that video a couple of times and I think I get what they are doing. I do have the Climber's Companion and I think it covers the knots involved.

I have to say all of those methods seemed like hard work, until the very last when he pointed out that you could have ground people haul you up!

Are using ascenders and stirrups considered free climbing? I suppose a manned belay with a separate rope would be considered prudent.
