Cross-krab Abseil	8-Dec-2005 At 11:36:35 AM	JamieF

Just had a look at Chocky's cross-krab abseil tech-tip. http://www.chockstone.org/TechTips/CrabBrake.htm I always thought that with a cross-krab abseil (ideally) the krabs parallel to the rope (shown in Fig1) are actually better in opposition but NOT reversed (ie, both the same way up). When you open both gates, they then form an obvious 'X', rather than being parallel. The idea being that in the unlikely even of having both gates forced open, the X keeps the rope locked in position. Perhaps in practice this makes little if any difference, but still if something can be safer with no additional effort... Jamie
