Lowering off with a short rope 26-Jun-2016 At 7:46:06 AM daave
Message
This happened to me the other day on Returnity at Porters. Had forgotten I'd chopped my rope a few times as I was lowering off from the anchors. It's slightly overhanging so I was hanging in space. About 2/3 down, well away from the wall, I realised I wasn't going to make it to the ground.

I tried to swing in so I could grab the rope, get to a draw, go in hard, pull rope and rethread, but I couldn't make it far enough.

I had to boink up the rope back up to the anchors so I could lower down again, keeping in contact with the rope. When I got to about half way, I rethreaded from a single bolt and I then made it down easily.

This worked well, but would be a pain if there was a heap of rope drag.
