Vertical caving terminology and methods > Personal SRT gear
A tether made from a length of rope, webbing material, or a combination of both, with a single or double loop on the end. Used to put your foot/feet in, to transfer power from the foot to the top jammer or lower jammer. With the frog system, Texas system and singe system, the loop can be large enough for both feet to optionally share it, which is best for bottom weighting. It can also be a double loop, one for each foot, or it can be a smaller single loop for use by only one foot. With rope walking, the Mitchell system, the another prusiking system and the Jumar system, each footloop must only have a single loop on the end. With the Michell system, the top jammer's footloop runs through the chest roller, and with the Jumar system, it runs through a carabiner on the chest harness. Sometimes made from the same piece of rope as the safety cord.
