Im in the army so i blow my top quite alot, but the worse one was when i was on my climeing course, i was half way up this big oak tree and the instructor was makeing fun of me, he'd been doing it all week but it got to me this day and then my rope got stuck on a branch. so me dangling up this oak tree streestout start to punch and kick out at this tree that had done nothing to me, it was all fun till i got down and had a bad hand the day befor my test.

i like useing the prussic its simple and easy to use, i know people who clime on it still and have done for 20 + years if its good for them it will do me just fine,
