Ok so I just recognized a gap my understanding of an autoblock and didnt find anything in a search. So the question is...
Is an autoblock prussic only used on a single strand rappel?
What about a doubled over rope that you plan on pulling from the bottom? You dont actually set up two prussics do you?
In reply to:
Are you absolutely sure you want to trust rappelling advice you get from an online forum? Talk to some experienced climbers, or at the very least
I dont blindly trust anyone. I listen to opinions and make judgements based on all the information that I have.
In reply to:
Are you talking about an autoblock below the belay device? Or a backup above?
Im asking about a autoblock below the ATC. I'd be interested to hear what works for you.

There's a fair serving of horseshit on this forum.
Thanks for the warning but I read alot more here than I post here so I know about sifting through the bs.
In reply to:
consult a reputable source like Freedom of the Hills, or John Long or Craig Leubben's books.
I actually have/had all three of those books. FOTH was lost in a move but I think it will show up, and the long/leubben books just came in the mail two days ago. I have to say though the new books are painfull to read. Its the 21st century I Need Colour!!
