It's all about redundancy wherever you can gain it, as Pope pointed out.

Belay loops seem to be indicative of irregular tensioning. Belays are rarely body weight ( I hope one is not using said loop for anchoring as well), except during falls. Rappels wear harder due to constant weighting, I guess it seems. That was my line of reasoning, anyway. BTW, My "rap" loops (harness connection pointS) would be safer because there would be two, contrary to your quote.

I hate people who hate people.

I had the ice bath like that guy I got chicken pox on my 32nd birthday and when my temp hit 110, into the tub I went. Unwillingly, I can assure you. It worked, I am here today to tell you! But I haven't watched the movie since....

I never used those loops for rappelling, I just always figured there was a reason they were called "belay loops", not "rappel loops", so I followed the specification. Not to point any fingers, just a long-time observation. BTW, he's a guide.

As much fun as we have with the Mounties/Mazamas/BOALPS, everyone has their own level of acceptable risk. In some sense, by belittling it, we make that not OK. Which kind of sucks.

You're one of the good ones, Man.
