View from top showing the two lines, the main line (which the ascender is rigged to) on the right, backup line (with butterfly knot loops clipped for backup) on the left. And yes, it's a little steeper than it looks (but not by much).
Prussik a pack or other weight on the bottom of the main line (which has the ascender rigged on it) to ensure the ascender feeds smoothly as you climb.
