Who's cut themselves climbing!

in broad agreement with the above, ps what's tape sling?

 

I slung all my tapes years ago, even CD’s are old hat, MP3 plugged into car radio is the only way

I wondered how long that'd take hahaha!

 

Although as unmanly:sneaky2: as it is i'm not a fan of cutting and holding, although we do it all the time I do use a sling when it just doesn't feel right!

 

Anyone cut and held and had anchor rip out? I know a guy who had the limb he was on snap while stropped into and wrote his harness off but all was well.

Ok I see what it is for, I just use the other end of my climbing line, (good for lightweight lowering aswell)

i use slings as well if i dont think i can keep a hold of the branch but only while cutting with silky.

your climbing line should NEVER be used as anything other than designed, and should alsio at all times be in a direct line below you for rapid descent in case of emergency:sneaky2:

Very good post, apart from the tape sling bit

 

 

I would rather cut a sling than my arm:sneaky2:

 

a tape sling is your best friend, and a third hand, a false crotch etc:thumbup1:
