Yeah, the parent comment is talking about using a pair of Prusiks to ascend (or to at least make loops you can use to stand). An Alpine Butterfly can't be moved, so it's not especially useful in many applications.

Yep exactly. I'm talking about a pair of Prusiks to climb the rope. Of course ascenders/Jumars are even better. :)

  Thanks. So when I was a kid, they made us climb a ~3 cm rope about 20 meters. With no aids, and just a padded mat for protection.

    20m? That's a fatal fall...

      OK, upon reflection, more like 8-10 meters. The ceiling height in the gymnasium. It was a long time ago, and what I mostly remember is the fear of falling. And the rope burns.
