Nice transition. I use an SRT myself but i'm impressed by how well the Fisk works. I know some other guys that use a similar figure-8, the kind with the horns on top, and it's just killing there performance.

Good video by someone that actually knows what they're doing!

I think the figure 8's your friends use are actually for recreational absailing, not industrial use. Fisk's rock, they are quick to attach, and unattach, there are no screws or moving parts to break, you can navigate overhangs easily, and most importantly, you have similar resistance at the top of the building as you do at the bottom. Unlike a rack, where you have too much resistance at the top and too little at the bottom. SRT's are ok, better than racks or cylinders, but the fisk is best.

Great Video man! I do chair work in toronto but use a two rope decent devise, It's not legal to use a single rope for a bosun chair in my area. Be safe and out of the wind lol

Very good video. For future reference you may want to tie off to your rope grab before you jump over the handrail. 100% tie off is a must when it comes to heights. First tie into your rope grab then access the area where the fall hazard is.
