Came across this earlier. Thought it would be good to share, especially with pembroke coming up!

Interesting how such a commonly used technique can have such an obvious (when pointed out) flaw.

Hmm interesting one! From now on I think I'll extend the belay device and have the prusik on the belay loop as well

If you come on ropeworks or SPA you will be taught all this!

Bit worrying when I got to the pictures cos I thought the harness looked a tad familiar. I then realised it's the same (or VERY similar) Wild Country one as my own. I've definitely abseiled in it too. Awks.
