Can I suggest that if you are likely to have someone prussiking that they
a) practice first, the day before, not the day of the climb
b) try some other methods (eg grigri and tibloc, or atc guide/reverso and tibloc) as this is way faster and less tiring than two prussicks, and you'll probably have most of the gear with you already (except for a 42gram tibloc). I never intend to prussick with two loops ever again since using this system.
If you don't know how this methods works, see: http://blog.alpineinstitute.com/2012/08/ascending-systems.html |
