Pendulum swings

It's not cowardly or chicken, it's common sense, good post.

 

Thanks, Mick.

Luckily, I've never done a big painful swing but last week slipped when comin back in off a limb and before I knew it I was upside down spinning about and disorientated, fortunately colleague on ground was dragging brash away and didn't see (relentless piss taker) and pride was saved😀

Happened to me beginning of year, climbing a wet Norway Maple, on a new rope. So i slip, swing about 7 metres toward the stem, but sliding down at same time, due to new rope and prussik rope. All I remember doing was grabbing hold of my prussik and waiting for pain, and then everything sort of stopped, spinning in silence, then my workmate who is also in the tree shouts "everything alright?" Thankfully, I was, just angry I had to climb back up again

 

Needless to say, I used my lanyard the next time.....
