As rich knows, I got stuck on a bit of tape on a rope.. I was passing a knot on abseil, and my top prussic got jammed against the tape.. I thought I'd be able to push it past, but alas, the tape got stuck inside the prussic knot, and I wasn't able to make the prussic budge at all. So I unweighted the prussic, and even though I could now make it slide up and down the rope, the tape was still inside.. so there I was, 30m off the deck, busily chewing my rope..... I had to bite the tape off :-) Anyway, this was on a mates rope, and I promtly took the center-tape off my rope!! |
