Not for about the last 20 years. If you're belaying, it's for a reason: your second or leader might fall. And, if so, a debilitating injury is always possible so it makes sense to be able to escape the system. Belaying off your tie-in loop adds another - and more difficult - step in extracting yourself from the system. |
