I'm somewhat slow and despite having heard second hand from this sight and perhaps from reading from Mr. Beranek's book, seeing it has been more convincing.
Yes Limbrat. The climbing line was topped out at the second crotch so my weight was on the lanyard. As well as showing me the dangers of having running rigging cross the climbing line it reinforced the need for always having the double tie-in, which I often don't do.
I should know better but I was careless today.
I was about 60 feet up an ash doing a removal and allowed the rigging to run over my climbing line.
It burnt it nearly in half.
I am aware that I shldnt have let this happen but this scare will make me more careful.
I post this in case anyone...
