Lqotiaylol . . . Mention a whole bunch of things and you only read 'carrots' ... Classic rod ....

So what if I mentioned carrots, or more specifically the fact that you basically had to rap off them,
Offered as an alternate perspective to today when despite being able to more easily and safely rap off a ring anchor your typically lazy assed spurt climber couldn't be bothered because it's too dangerous or too difficult or because once you've started to wear out the anchor you can just add a shackle or two and that solves it so just go ahead and lower . . .
Perhaps you didn't understand the bit where I outlined a bunch of ways you can make it safe to rap, even if your not using an auto lock device ?? Seriously if you don't know how to do any of that sort of stuff you probably should just stay in the gym or you'll end up just lowering through every anchor in sight, wearing them out and then you'll have to add a shackle . . . which is just plain silly, why not just put the shackle there in the first place and wear it out, or just rap . .
