I was taught -- er, way back when -- always to lash myself to something, even on the ground, and still usually do if only out of habit. Never questioned the practice; it seemed like a sensible thing to do. Thought it was old-fashioned maybe, but not weird. Until now. I just realised back then we were (little) kids belaying (large) men so it probably made a lot more sense then than it does today. |
