I couldn't do it!

tried 3 times.. seems my legs just don't have the strength. It's a werid feeling too like falling over backwords is the best way to describe it. Maybe try again next week.

For certain, you are not alone. Im further down the ladder, as I have no intention of trying.

Maybe it's time to think about something safer - a powerboat perhaps!

Uh No? YOU get a powerboat. I have friends to help me I just want to try it myself.

I've had better luck with a climbing belt/harness, and ascenders. The ATN was awkward for me, too

He makes it look so easy at the shows too!

Love my ATN, it did take a few times to get use to it but, after that, it's pretty eazy to use

Keep at it Denise

Also. take short trips until you get the motion down

I'm going to try it with the static line secured at the bottom and cranked up tight. I was swinging all over the place and just couldn't seem to coordinate the stand and sit action

Oh, hell. I looked at the video of that thing and it reminds me of the rope climb in high school in the 70s. I couldn't climb it very well then, and I doubt I could do it now. Don't feel bad, D. I bet a little practice will make perfect.

A taunt static line is really important for me with the ATN.
