Do you really wanna ask yourself every five minutes: "Will it hold?"
And like Ekka said...
A perfect safe climb can be performed with only rope and a harness. Everything from biners to clips and lanyards, rope clamps, absolutely everything is just luxury and is expendable. I teach my students these techniques to improvise when in the event of losing gear when up in the tree. A few HOW to's for these techs....The biners in the pics could be replaced by a bowline knot. |
