 Re: Backup descender on single line
Thanx fer the rack pitch. Here's a pic of a sure fire stable method of rapelling. Recommend having the tail of the line a bit above the ground, so it can untwist the double amount of coils this twists.
Want to use the Stop with small diameter line (3/8", or 9.8mm), in the rain, while carrying a heavy load on rappel.
Say, a rock climber said to backup the primary descender with a Petzl Shunt mounted on the right leg stap. Any problems with an upward load on an arborist (New Tribe) saddle?
