Thanks for all the replies. Good to know a few people have done it and lived to type the tale.
Forgive my ignorance, but when you talk about twinning the ropes causing issues with increasing the shock load to the climber (which I get) does the same thing happen when you 'mix and match' styles - ie first few bits of gear twin the ropes, then clip seperately - in my head this doesn't have the same effect - it would seem to be that whatever the last bit of gear that was clipped is most important, so if you clipped seperatly, then twinned them, and fell, you would be causing that shock load issue? |
