I dont understand why some folk use a saw while they are only on one rope,not criticism,but it makes no sense to me.

 

Its just a lot quicker and easier.

Do you drive???

 

It always amasses me that people think what we do is so dangerous, but will get in their car and do 80mph surrounded by other lumps of steel doing similar speeds.

 

I have been climbing for 16+ years and have never cut my rope above my hitch, I have cut the tail twice.

That is true, but I would rather not rely on luck for everything!

well no not really, according to many in here this is not a skilled job, so how could we possibly justify any serious charge for what we do?

You miss my point completely:001_rolleyes:

 

I don't believe in luck.

 

Its like when people tell me how lucky I been in making a success of my business, I say "yes and the funny thing is the harder I work the luckier I am!!)
