Hey M9!

Sorry, but as much as I love Dr. Dark and his crew, I am sure they did not practise the SRC belay style used at Mt Boyce.

And, yep, I know how to hip and shoulder belay, that's why I'm sure they didn't do it - and I've got the film footage to prove it!

Great stuff. Although, I'd love someone to prove me wrong with some new evidence of some sort??

Having collected some footage of them climbing I couldn't help smiling at your choice of example. You'd love the footage of them climbing on the Boar's Head. (valid points, though obviously, although hanging in a bowline is no fun) No offense intended. I love the way they used those ropes!

They did, however, love a good trundle! Some things never change - who doesn't love a good trundle?!

Back to kids on topropes - pretty simple, wait till they get tired and do what we all do when we're tired - fall off! Of course, if they are a teenager just wait till they get hungry.

Cheers R.
