Cheers paul - and the second part is something i wondered about the other day. Guess i'm going to have to buy some new shiney things:001_rolleyes:

Whats the best way to retrieve the climbing line from either running bowline and alphine butterfly with out only using half the length of climbing hope this makes sense

tie a throwline into the bight

[arbmansam]

In theory the rope will be twice the length of the height using a top tie in point. Not sure what your asking?

 

Whst i mean by this is instesd of leaving a long tail on the bowline or alpine butterfly But as ian just said to me tie a throwline is there other ways that are quite handy and quick thanks

Without the tail it won't be retrievable.

Using a ring if possible, reduces retrieval friction:thumbup1:

I often will use a short line with just a running bowline choked. Work my way back to it at the end and descend DdRT. Either that or use a longer line with a pulldown.
