Climbing as a group of three ... how best to do it 6-Aug-2006 At 7:46:46 PM -deano-
Message
for three people, i've always liked leading on doubles and bringing up the seconds a few metres apart. (one at a time if tricky climbing). if easy climbing, but wandering climb, i might get the 'third' to start only after i can see the 'second'. it would all depend in how confident you are in the respective ability of your partners.

having said that, belaying two compentent climbers simultaneously is often hard work! perhaps an auto-blocking belay device (eg reverso, b52) would be good there? i would be sure there is minimal chance that you would have to lower-off a second in this case.

one day hero, that's a really cool idea. i've never been able to use it (un)fortunately. i usually get the second to start flaking the rope from their end as soon as they are up and clipped into the anchor. by the time the third is up, they are done and one rope is ready to go.
