8 \ USE
The Rope Wrench is NOT an ascender and plays no part in
ascending. It must, however, be pulled up along with the rest of the
system as the climber ascends. This can be facilitated by connecting the
Fusion Rope Wrench Tether to a chest harness at either of the approved
SRS ascent attachment points. (Fig 8A)
