Using slings as prusiks mean that they are always handy/at hand.
Those comical photos of a stuck rapeller are funny, keeping the prusik close to hand, ie not alowing it to be able to get out of reach, and also having the skills to navigate an overhang would have solved this problem, but I love it when a non life threatening situations allow a person to grow and learn from their mistakes, as an aside, footlocking seems to be a vanishing art ? |
