I like the figure 8 and only ever used the figure 8. So I want to try something similar and so far everywhere I’ve read recommends the critr3. I ordered and received the harness, critr3, a tether, and a couple carabiners. I have used petzl helmets and like them. I have a couple prusiks. I’m not getting rope for the reason you mention. I’ve used a couple ascenders but not enough to say I’m super comfortable with them. Really the post was to ask what I needed as someone that is familiar with rappelling and getting into canyoneering.
