chris Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Are you seriously getting worked up by a 6-year old video demonstrating an out-dated technique? And don't blame the guiding community - the American Mountain Guide Association is doing great and growing. Blame the land managers who can't come up with a simple universal requirement that guides be certified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 somebody explain in small words and slowly - seems i've stopped innumerable falls over the years w/ a variety of devices, sometimes sudden falls where i'm paying close attentions, sometimes not, pretty much always in the "palm up" position as whoever mentioned, and all w/o incident - why did the lot of us all avoid death? and gri's must always have a brake hand? i use it for rope-soloing and took dozens of falls w/o incident either.
