Abseiling near miss	20-Jul-2020 At 7:44:10 PM	Groveller

I agree that the easiest safety measure would have been a Fireman belay. I normally insist that people I climb with use a prussik as back up but didn't in this case as the distance being abseiled was only 3 meters. In hindsight I should have set up a rope to lower the beginner just in case something happened. I posted this as I think it is very important to discuss accidents and near misses. Also the beginner is super fit, smart and willing to take direction. So many factors that can lead us to making poor decisions.
