RE: Ulog 16 - Curved Ridge: feeling the fear and doing it anyway!

in #climbing7 years ago

Thanks, and that was one of my questions too! Sometimes he just walks down - he's been climbing for 25 years and is like a mountain goat. Other times he does a self-belay, where you wrap the rope round an anchor (a stable rock or very large tree) so it's doubled over on itself. With both ends fed through a belay device and your harness, you can belay yourself down in a controlled way. Once you're at the bottom, you untie yourself and pull the rope back. Genius!

Thanks for that reply, those must be some long ropes he needs in those cases when he does repel down.

Thx/ that's a big rope.
