>Why not just tie the two ends of the rope around the two trees directly rather than the sling, biners, knots combo? Seems like over-complexity for nil gain.
Noted, good point.
My static rope wasn't long enough to reach the edge of the cliff (if tied directly to the trees) so we used slings to gain extra length.
Am using a 60m dynamic rope for climbing but was worried about it wearing on the rock if up too high. |
