I remember my first abseil lesson using a Figure 8 - "The sausages go IN the frypan and around the handle" - so the rope goes down through the big ring and up over the little ring. This is how i have always done it.
But in viewing the Petzl and Black Diamond user manuals for Figure 8's, i found a stunning contradiction.
Black Diamond shows the rope going DOWN through the big ring whilst Petzl illustrates the rope coming UP through the big ring and down over the little ring.
Does it really make a difference which way it is done?
Which way do you do it?
