Hi Ryan – I’ve now disabled trackbacks which should solve the problem. I also re-scanned the queue of comments/trackbacks with the new anti-spam plugin and it seems to have done a good job cleaning it up. Let us […]

Hi Ryan, I think we’re starting to attract a bit more attention from spammers unfortunately. I have installed a plugin which should help reduce this, and I’m considering turning off trackbacks for this reason. In […]

The belayer may be in a position to drop more gear down the rope. The belayer may also be able to tie off the second and drop a loop of rope down if there is enough slack.
It also depends how long one of the prussiks is, if it is a long one it couple initally be used as a foot loop to get weight off the rope and enable an initial stand up, the…[Read more]

I was wondering how a second would self rescue if he/she fell over a void ? … and assuming the leader can’t get a second rope to the second. I can’t see how it could be done with just 2 prussiks. I think 3 is needed. Any ideas ?

I was thinking of something like pitch 6 on Hotel California. If the second fell before he/she reached a draw on the traverse, the belayer wouldn’t be able to get any extra gear or rope down. 2 normal length prussiks tied some distance above the waist rope tie-in, would be way too high to get a foot in and I can’t imagine any gymnastic way it…[Read more]
