why has the geyza at the front cliped in with a krab and not tied in? poor drills

because, we were moving together. a technique often used in the alps. do you know nothing?

Do you? Not good practice clipping in even when moving together.

except, if you are climbing as a party of 3, the only way of attaching someone to the middle of the rope safley, is to clip on with an alpine buttfly. chump.

Umm, hate to be pedantic, but you're wrong, you can still tie onto the middle of the rope without a biner. Think about it-if that guy falls he will have an awkward, tumbling fall onto a single biner. The chances of the biner being cross loaded is very high in that situation-not good!

tom you are the chump, what happens after you tie an alpine butterfly? you end up with a loop, so simply tie a bowline with the double rope, or is that too complex for wee tom, being as though you can't even spell you prob can't tie a bowline, let alone with double ropes.
don't forget tho, tom the alpinist knows everything, and the ONLY way tou move together in a three is with the middle person clipped in.
tom ur a looser
