    This is a really unexpected flash! I'd seen a few people struggle, especially on the top section (the one I end up campusing). I almost swung off right before that fun 360 (I didn't really need to do that, but was easier than to wait to wind back the other way)#bouldering #climbing #bloc #escalade #totem #totem_meyrin

    Campaigners against the mass roll-out of new telecoms masts in remote parts of Highland Scotland have declared a 'major success', as it emerged that the taxpayer-funded programme has been significantly scaled back. https://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?n=782728

    Last weekend I took a couple friends to the local crag for their first time out. Since I was the only one able to clean, others led and set the anchor, but on occasion if the leader were unable to reach the anchors, I would set the anchor and belayed the others up from the top using a grigri. That worked pretty well, though I'm aware that Petzl doesn't recommend using the grigri in such a manner (a redirected belay is preferred.) I did notice that the DMM Pivot set up in guide/auto-blocking mode had a dedicated method for lowering — using a second biner to adjust the angle of the device. Are there concerns with doing so for lowering a second climber all the way to the ground? Whenever lowering is mentioned, it's always in the context is lowering the second "a few feet" or so.
