What's the problem with 8's?
ATC type devices don't kink the rope up as much and are almost as noob proof but if you are just going absqueeling. a figure 8 will do , Pair it with a French prussic back up and you probably wont die.
Wear a helmet.
Don't go caving ever, even if that guy with a beard who says heh heh heh all the time, makes it sound really cool.
It's not - you will end up in a hole in the ground soon enough.
My advice is, buy some kind of ATC type device and consider taking up climbing.
It's shit loads more fun and it makes you smarter and more attractive to the opposite sex. |
