Roped Soloing - Who Does It? (for OP) 5-Feb-2008 At 1:18:07 PM rhinckle

Message

modified grigri. rope in backpack. lead roped solo. needs a loop added to the grigri to be held in teeth, which can be let go in case of an upside down fall.

complaint.
can't vote for my range of options as choice has to be one or all of the above.

haven't mentioned boulderaiding either, which is a fun game (as long as no one is watching) (no climber, anyway. it must look quite impressive to an abseiler)

btw
one of my few ground falls involved grabbing a shunt. (the kardonnay of devices)

here's a shunt thought
connect to shunt via long sling, so that it is below you when you peel. they only work on toprope callenges anyway. that way you add a spicy lead fall feel to the juicy fruit top rope one.

better stop now
