Must of felt about E4 with all that drag ;->

You mean half-ropes. Longer extenders would have helped.

For Phylis: Don't know about the drag, you'd have to ask Dave about that, but I felt at one point there was no need for me to belay, cos the drag would have saved Dave if he'd taken a fall!!! ;->
For Jamie B: Half ropes/twins, sorry not that experienced at climbing. Whats the difference? Don't mean to be ignorant, climbing with a single rope is enough to contend with for the moment :-)

superb!

Whoa! ziggy! zaggy! the whole 9 yards!

OK so it wasn't one of my finest moments in climbing. Ned, I will be watching you like a hawk with camera in hand just waiting for revenge!!

Lessons? Extend your runners, be selective of your runners when using a single rope.
And get doubles.
Double ropes=half ropes.
Twin ropes are different, don't get them.

Oh. My. God.

It would've been easier like this (and prob safer):

Don't worry, I know I made a mess of it! I have got half ropes, but never think to take them to grit crags. Ned only put this up to wind me up as he knows I can do much better than this picture may suggest (Don't you Ned?!?)

I can categorically state that Whealiebob can climb much better than this picture may suggest, but I'm not going too!!! :-)) In anycase, he's going to turn me into a Yo-Yo next time I second him, so I've got to get in first.

And fair play to the guy, to replicate this you'd have to be dragging a sack of potatoes up the blumming wall!!

If your ropes are comfortably over twice as long as the crag is high then simply lead on the two ends, have your second tie onto the middle. Presto! Doubles!
