  11. I should say so. But if there’s only £100 in it, and you get an extra days training, I would lean towards City and Guilds.
  12. As with all ‘slippage’ though, it’s happens slowly and over time. To coin a book title on the subject, you ‘drift into failure’.

    Jokes???

    A Spanish magician says he will disappear on the count of 3. He says "uno, dos..." poof. He disappeared without a tres.
  23. I don’t know about cutting through your ropes (as others have hinted - that’s not exactly something that you may want to disclose due to professional pride) but IME the consequence of the recent ‘revision’ to climbing practice is probably going to affect anchor selection. I have had precious few anchor points fail on one system…. and only one that failed completely (climbing on a squirrel damaged beech whilst scrabbling on LV line clearance). I started using two anchors systematically on SSE work back in 2015. SSE managers were very fierce about it. What I found was that if you have to have two anchors, after a while, one is your main anchor and carefully selected, whilst the other is a bit more pushing-the-envelope-ish…. and as such, is far more likely to fail or rip out (the mindset is that it doesn’t really matter if it does as you are still protected by your main). The result of this is that it conditions the climber to ‘normalise’ the use of crappy anchors. The conclusion over time is that as you are used to it, both anchors may be pretty crap.
  24. I was hoping to reinvent myself as a influencer. Let me know if you want me to PM you my deets for the Merch.
