some tricks from the weekend

[DrewB]

Donr forget you can remove the karabiners from the ground before pulling the line out completely. Nothing worse than getting a biner stuck in the crotch with the other end of the line off the ground and unreachable!

 

ha! cant believe i didnt think of taking the carabiners off first!! cheers peter:001_cool:

$75nz is about £26?

 

They are not much cheaper here, about £22 by the time you put VAT on them.

True but earning is lower here.a mate actually got mine from the dmm shop for 12quid in wales, so that was why i thought they were too expensive here. doesnt such a rip off now so looks like ill be spending some $.

Surely that would depend on how far from the ground the biners are? If the distance from either biner to the crotch is less than the distance from either biner to the ground, you won't be able to remove a biner from the ground without already pulling one through the crotch.

[Peter]

You may have to pull one through the crotch, but at least you still have both ends of the line to manipulate it through, whereas if you just pull the line out you might not have the use of both ends.

[Rupe]

So attach another rope to the short end. Once one is through the crotch then no worries, drop both on yer head!

[Peter]

True, or even a throwline

[Rupe]

Yes but that might cut into your soft hands!
