How does a top roping thread end up in the trad climbing forum?

Well, it's too late now. Every time a mod moves a thread God carves a notch into a puppy.

I wasn't requesting a move, especially not at the expense of a puppy. Not only is this a top roping thread, however, but he is requesting beta on something that is totally unnecessary. You cannot tell me that with a top rope set up, that prussiking is the best solution. Tongue

Anyway, if they have ANY locking belay device, whether it's a grigri or reverso/guide type, it would be easier to use that, and have one prussik for the foot loop.

a top roping thread it may be, but prusiking is a skill every trad climber should know.
