I've recently done a bit of experimenting abseiling on silly thin stuff in canyons (that 40cm deep puddle at the bottom will cushion my fall, right?)
The method which worked best was to put the atc out on a 60cm sling from the belay loop (euro style), then run the hand-end of the ropes down through a biner on the leg loop, then back up to another biner attached to the atc biner.......looks kind of like a hauling system, was very controlable.
Would be much better to draw it, but I couldn't be stuffed. Also, if you die, don't come crying to me. |
