Note that there is too little slack in the rope above the rebelay, though there is no doubt that a lot will appear once the rope is loaded. <p>This is something to watch out for on the descent: when the slack disappears as the upper rope is unloaded, it is possible to find that you can't remove your descender from the rope without attaching an ascender to re-load it.</p> <p>This is an mild example of an unnecesarily acrobatic rig which should be re-done on any route with heavy traffic. <p class="caption">Photo © Mark Dougherty, 199x</p> <hr /> <div id="menu"> <ul id="links"> <li><a href="../index.htm">Expedition Handbook</a> <ul> <li><a href="../rig/rigit.html">Rigging guide</a></li> <li><a href="../survey/index.htm">Surveying guide</a></li> <li><a href="../look4.htm">Prospecting guide</a></li> <li><a href="../rescue.htm">Rescue guide</a></li> <li><a href="../photo.htm">Photography guide</a></li> </ul></li> <li><a href="../../infodx.htm">Main index</a></li> <li><a href="../../index.htm">Expo Home</a></li> <li><a href="../../../index.htm">CUCC Home</a></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
