Question - Harness with zipwire pulleys?

[sim2lew]

Plain crab on a wire? I wouldn't - it'll saw through it...

That was my initial response.

Via a short tyrolean traverse? He'd be moving slower than he would be if he was actually climbing vertically.

That was my initial response.

No it wasn't. Your initial response was you needed 3 safety points and didn't want to have to remove the pulley from your harness so you wouldn't drop it down a chasm - something you've told these people here that actually know what they are talking about and know that 1 point of protection is how this stuff is done.

Ah, on a traverse, no problem just using a cows tail and a crab. On a zip wire, you'll die.

My initial response to you saying plain crab on wire.

Why are you having such a go at me after I asked you if you were still into exploring? Have I offended you in some way?
