Right on, I thought you meant that your ASAP was your only point of attachment.
One of the major disadvantages for me was the inability to equalise between ropes. When I worked in RA I would very very often use tension on my backup to help hold me in position, whether to hold me stable while working with live loads or simply to cover a wider area per drop. It also had a tendency to clutch up on fast abseils, but I guess that is just doing it's job! |
