Did some practice frogging last night. I'm wondering if y'all can help me improve on my frog setup and technique.
Question 1: I have the GGG H chest harness. It doesn't seem to be able to hold me close enough to the rope. What seems to happen is the back part attached to my waist belt of my seat harness, pulls the harness up and creates slack. I have a climbing harness, so my croll doesn't stay as low as it probably would with a caving specific harness. I attached a pic that shows the slack in my chest harness. Any advice?
Question 2: My understanding is when froggin with a pantin, you should move each foot individually, like rope walking. There's something unnatural feeling about doing it this way. It seems more natural to do a standard frog technique where I move both the pantin up, and the foot in foot tape at the same time, then stand up on both feet. It's difficult to critique my technique without watching me do it I'm sure, but anyone have any advice on the proper technique when using a pantin? Maybe I should take a short video and throw it on youtube...
