Has anyone climbed with two lines and that’s saved there bacon

As with all ‘slippage’ though, it’s happens slowly and over time.

 

To coin a book title on the subject, you ‘drift into failure’.

I get air sick with two pairs of thick socks on so I won't  be using 2 , 3 or 7 lines  🙂.

Yep. Completely plausible.

I know of one chap who’s peeled off a tree on two separate occasions and cannot find any accident report on either from Google. The second one he was seriously injured and hospitalised and working for a client who I’m sure would of informed the HSE. His groundy was looking the other way at the time? My point is this - as others have said if you’ve screwed up you’ll keep quiet, also on the other hand perhaps two lines would of helped him. He’s back at work thankfully but apparently not quite as confident as he was. And before you ask - it’s not me.

Whenever I hear of people falling I want to know detail so I can avoid the same problem, but it always seems hard to get any. Seems like the learning is hard to share.

I’ve used two ropes before when I really NEEDED that dodgy anchor.

 

SRT has largely made this redundant, though.

 

Bomber main anchor and the rest just slings and crabs, as many as you want, with minimum faff.

Used to do the same when I took kids away on overnight expeditions - first port of call was the accident book to see where the dangers were

I should get with the SRT really, had the tail end up with a prussic loop last week in a willow pollard.
