so we have all done a trip that some one said was not tight and found it to be a lie (or the other way round if your skiny) this is easy to solve you look at the person telling you it is small.
but i have met a few people who say i can do srt and only quite some time in to the trip do they say:
oh i cant do it when there is nothing to stand on.
the knot in this re-belay has come undone (deviation) or just clipping every thing as they hang on some bit of string.
there is a knot were this rope it really frayed so i cant get past it.
now i don't like the idea of payed for courses (sorry if you do) but how ever you learn it in my opinion some one should not say they can do srt till with out help they can cope with:
up,
down,
traverses
deviations
knot passes (up and down)
changing over
using a rope protector
all the above done with out anything to stand on.
and be able to tie a figer of 8 at least.
could it be that the bca or other should put out some defined terms.
what do you think....
i think this might get more comments than my post looking for pipe in the digging section
