"Dope on the Rope"

Why anyone volunteers to dangle off two pieces of rope has always interested me, however we do anything from 20 metres to 250 metres.

However we all put our trust into the equipment and our colleagues, the ropes has a 3000kg breaking strain, so with two ropes it should be OK, watching of course for sharp edges.

1st of all its that all important attaching the ropes to the harness.

Then, lots of checks, before Officer in Charge gives the OK to send the "Technician" over

Norman, can you leave the mud at the bottom next time.
