Abseiling off slings?	13-Nov-2006 At 10:40:17 AM	albion

Another (related) debate I've had on occasion is whether it's OK to set up a top rope which ends in a single sling (and screw-gate) at the end - i.e. 3 slings or tripled cordette which meets at a point and then is extended over an edge by one sling. I'm definitely no expert on the subject, but I've always assumed that thrashing around on a top rope puts more loading on a system than an abseil and so am suspicious of such a set up.
