I thought it wasn't: isn't the 'now approved' method you use your right hand thumb to keep the cam pushed down and yard out the rope with your left? Then the rope can still be running under your right, so you're sort of still 'hands on the dead rope'? Need to go and check the Petzl website now!

True dat'.

I thought it was a fantastic film. My very very limited experiences of Peak Limestone - at lowly trad levels - have always made me think its very much not for me, but that was a super bit of film, the cutaways as well as the close ups. The Cornice in particular is an amazing formation - looks fantastic in the wide shots; like something Gaudi would have designed.
Top stuff.
