whos up for a rope swing in Picton. im kinda in for next week (my trip starts on the 6th and ends on sunday). i dont have a leg loop or any homemade prussicks. im only going to be bringing my harness, biners and my petzl stop for lowering. so im going to need 2 dynamic ropes for the swing and a static to abseil to the ground when the swing stops.
just letting you know ill be in Sydney. im going to keep the plan of when we do the swing under wraps. PM me. everyone re-before check your PM box
cheers

I have done one on a closed bridge down there. Did a rope access course off the bridge, so its probably an ok spot.
Do you know where you are going?

that swing is only a few mins from my mrs' place so if im in the area ill put you off. gimme an email closer to the date. you'll probably want to source rope from elsewhere (you'll only need one dynamic by the way) because mine are all totally f---ed and id feel guilty they gave up the good fight with you on the end

WWS doesn't have his act together. Much better to get JC to perform a miracle jump instead!
