Your second ate too many pies and can’t fit through the squeeze chimney you just enjoyed. There is gear in there he can’t reach to unclip. How can chubby get out onto the face slab where he belongs and wait for the haul of shame? What can you do other than tie him off, descend the rope, giggle a bit, then unclip it yourself? Can anybody think of any simple tricks? This can be generalised to other situations where the second can’t unclip gear and can’t (perhaps physically or safely) re-tie in above the gear, blocking upward progress. |
