Re: How Do you Climb the Rope?
We're working four different prototype tracks for climbing. We figured out pretty quickly that securing the rope would be the fiddly bit.
  • "Keyhole" (knot)
  • "Hook Drum" (loop)
  • "Wringer" (plain end)
  • "LevelWind" (plain end)

All but "wringer" involve pulling the rope with a winch/drum/spool. Wringer is more like a continuous intake mechanism.
