telemarker Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Can someone explain to me the easiest way to pendulum, using the King Swing as an example? As I understand it, the belay at the top of boot flake is almost level with the belay for the following pitch. So, when the second lowers out on the swing, does he/she lower out on a third, lower-out line? Or is there enough in the haul line for the second to lower? Does the second have one (left) ascender attached to the lead line (assuming the leader has backcleaned the pitch) and tag line through the rap device to lower? I'd bone up on Freedom of the Hills, but thought i'd try here first. Also, where's a good crag to practice pendulums and aiding and cleaning traversing pitches? Muchos Denk-us!
