Works well for solo toprope. Use with a 2ft sling and back-up with a prussik or other rope grab on a slightly longer sling above it. Weight bottom of rope with approx 5lbs or have a partner hold the rope. Remember to carry a rappel device for descending.

Best Uses
Comments about PETZL Microcender Ascender:
I use this to top rope solo (ice so far). It feeds smooth as butter with a little bit of weight on the rope; it doesn't take much. It locks off well on short falls. As an ascender, it works well. The keeper leashes mean you can take it off the rope without ever unclipping it from your harness. It is supposedly designed to slip at forces low enough so that the cam won't chop the rope, unlike some other ascenders.
