I could probably do SRT with a petzl stop and a figure eight (or a

Adaptability is the name of the game. You can spot the serious climbers

AFAIK apart from a prussik (sp?) knot the only useful bit of kit for
climbing a rope is a Croll (I only know of Petzl ones but there may be
others) or maybe a Shunt in extremis. You can't attach a fig8 or Stop
to a loaded rope.
