I too use it from the time my feet leave the ground till they are back on it. I've lived long enough so far to aquire some wisdom and don't plan to get stupid at this point.

Mike from Texas, I don't hink you really meant what I percieved, but $6 difference for the climbing system is nothing compared to funeral costs. But good info is always good for the rest of us. As mentioned you can just go to your local Home Depot (or whatever) and buy 5/8" nylon rope and 1/2" for the prussic and make your own. You can make three of them for $35.
