Good call on the overhand on a bight below the friction hitch as a backup and to prevent losing the middle. first time I've seen that and it makes so much sense.

TITLE TEXT HERE

leaving the rope in a pile at your feet, not attached to anything is a bad idea. I've rescued 2 parties over the years that untied at the chains and then proceeded to drop their rope

Well I just bough a harness and rope and caribners and self belley system and 2 strans of 60m of rope from REI. Let’s hope I don’t get stuck hanging from my back porch trying to learn 😅

Never stop learning!

Getting a lot of abrasion across the sheath of the rope on that rock when making your piles pulling through the chain links.

where is that place you are? it has a very nice view

I believe you meant harpoon when you were talking about torpedoes.

How do you rappel from the bottom?

Hahaha- nice one @PapP148. Rappelling from the bottom is an advanced technique I learned from a Warner Brothers cartoon, but it can't be done if you believe in gravity. Thanks for watching!

That PAS is static cord. It's not rated to take a fall from above. It could shock load and fail. You should never be above your anchor on a PAS or static cord.

I thought about that too. honestly, I know some people would do all these manouvers without even clipping the sling to the anchor, just confidently standing there. I rarely climb with a dynamic sling, I use dynema, so I'd probably just be careful and have it clipped like he did just in case

Snake river?

I knew you were in that general area, there's some good climbing, I need to make a trip down there this summer.
