  1. I'd love it if you bought the book off Amazon.com to give it a positive review.

     

    I'm having trouble getting the word out, probably because it's a 2nd edition and I'm very busy and poor with school. I would love some suggestions for marketing it. I think it's a great book and I'd want to know about it. Is it too expensive?

     

    edit: okay i'm going nuts...already posted the exact thing previously. duh. Well mods, feel free to delete this...

  2. Using an online fall force calculator for a 150 lb person equaled a 15kN force for a 2' static fall above an anchor. It should make sense that something going over a tigher bend would reduce its strength. Thus the warning.

     

    It's totally situation dependent. Most scenarios would not have you loading your tether like that. Using your belay loop is fine as long as you periodically check the nylon and move the knot around every so often. Tethers should really only be used as a quick way to stabilze yourself at the anchor. If there is a situation where the leader or belay could generate a high fall factor, use the rope to tether in as well.
