In reply to UKC News:
I recently did Roof Route in Burbage South (
Roof Route (VS 4c) ) as rope solo lead. I probably used similar system to what Pete was using because I was freaking out about clipping free hanging end of rope. Did a rope solo multi pitch on Zamarla Turnia in Polish Tatras (
Zamarła Turnia#maps) in 1993 and did not tie in periodically ... It was too much faff on free climbing even on short route
