Solo Top Rope climbing, Vårdberget, Oct 31st

A sunny but chilly day at Vårdberget, Fituna, but no complaints as it's almost November.. I did some more testing on easy routes of different gear setups for top rope solo climbing - Using a Petzl Shunt plus Micro Traxion or Camp Lift, and descending with an ATC.. Worked pretty well, although at times I got some interference, so I'll fine-tune the setup of slings/carabiners to keep them separated but in the right position.. I'll complement with a rope ladder, as it was obvious that it's a bit of a hassle to switch to rappel if the rope(s) were under full tension..
