Rope running over itself	30-Mar-2015 At 11:18:20 AM	Rawpowa!

Evan the thing was the rope was running over itself 6 or 7 times and because it was wrapped around itself it was rubbing around the entire circumference. I'm not too worried about the rope crossing at one point because the point of contact is always moving but in this case it I think the friction would have been much higher and I imagine I would have developed a 'bounce' as I lowered as well. Climbingau my belayer mentioned a similar situation where people have rapped directly off slings. I'm sure it's ok most of the time but as you say it's very easy for something to go wrong. Maybe I'm just a pessimist.
