Prussic while abseiling - above or below device?	1-Aug-2012 At 8:19:42 PM	armstp

The only time I have ever used a prusik for abseilling was off of Navarre, the knot was about 18 inches above the ATC, and exactly the same thing happened to me as happened to that woman in the photos. It was horrendous and put me off the idea of prusik back ups for life. I had to turn just about upside down and throw a leg back up over the overhang and semi mantle/grovel back up to get the prussik free. Took a few turns of the trailling ends of the ropes around my thigh first [an ancient technique few modern climbers seem to be familiar with].
