Mayor Ken's secret plan to rid London of cycling menace.

Only a few quid and an essential bit of emergency kit if you don't have a full SRT rig. Extra weight and no use for anything else.. It is perfectly possible to use a normal climbing rack to do SRT, just takes a bit more ingenuity.. As it is perfectly possible to abseil without a specific abseil device. Sorry, I'm a caver not a climber, what is a climbing rack? (presumably nothing like a descending rack) As it is perfectly possible to abseil without a specific abseil device. again the only thing which springs to mind is an Italian hitch (not recommended) what other methods are there? BTW I am all in favour of improvising because e.g. incidents on non SRT trips are exactly where you may have to. |
