appreciate your concern chalkie.
my first experience of solo roped leading was in '96. organ pipes. fun.
in more recent years i have been playing with 'boulderaiding'.
the next logical step was to combine the two.
little thor was the first time since '96 that i've had an ohmigod, waker upper experience.
it's only something i do when there are no other alternatives, and something i take on with awareness of the seriousnes of the undertaking.
my thoughts on the matter are to limit myself to solo toprope aid on crap climbs, with shunt and prussic backup to allow myself to make the inevitable mistakes and become more familiar with the elaborate gear handling techniques involved in the process.
if i have a partner, i would rather climb than aid.
BTW, i work in aged care and while i don't want to do it just yet, i know how i would prefer to die.
