UK. Two ropes at all times(USA next?)

[Reach]

I was horrified watching this poor, uninformed climber, climbing on a single line!

Oh yes, someone please save him from certain death with a second rope to tangle his feet together!

If we as climbers, do not want more regulation, we need to first prove they are not needed.

STOP FALLING OUT OF TREES!

We currently have the best tools and technical understanding on how to use them that tree workers have ever had. Yet our safety records have not improved.

Dr. John Ball concurs, falls still account for 31% of fatalities. With numbers that high, you can bet that there will be an expectation to make things better.

I think a lot of this has to do with poor industry standards and understanding by clients of the importance of paying for what you get, also a lot of big employers out their who don’t want to pay for what real professional climbers are worth

If you have to use 2 ropes does that mean you have to do a double flip on your way down?

Of course! And you have to post a video of it on YouTube to prove you’re doing it correctly!
