well, that's the unfortunate thing about trolls, there needs to be a sensible reply thrown in so that beginners can tell the difference between what's real and not.

EDIT TO SAY: "I bought an 8mm static lin for HAULING and RAPELLING, can I use it for top roping?" After reading your other thread, your incompetents (amongst other things) is blatantly obvious. Incompetence.

The worst part about this troll (or genuinely scary beginner) is that he's not going to kill himself giving a lead belay in autoblock mode, he's going to kill someone else.

The problem with those troll posts is that some genuinely stupid person might just read the first post and think "oh whow! thats a great idea! why havent i thought about that! thank you internet!" and then go and try it ...
But then on the other hand this might actually be on of those genuinely stupid persons and not a troll?

Ummmm I think everyone here is talking on different planes...
My understanding is mihir is talking about autoblock on belaying a second.
Not as a belayer from the ground - not exactly sure how everyone came to the conclusion he was talking about lowering a leader, his descriptions seem pretty clear to me that this is not his intention.
Cheers

mihir wrote: I recently discovered that the reverso3 can perform all the tasks of gri gri in addition to functions on small diameter ropes. It can act as a rappel device,and in auto block mode functions better than gri gri.Its also light weight and supports two ropes simultaneously.
Come one peoples! It's the second page and no one's quoted the OP's post / troll yet?!?!

I have on occassion. More often than not I'd rather use another device, but sometimes it seems the easiest tool.

To be fair, no I didn't, and granted this may have added to the tone of replies here; I am the first to admit I always begin with a roll of my eyes when I read a post by Majid or JT.
My response was purely from what I understood from the OP then the responses.
:)
Cheers
Adam

Extent variant, sure, but a hell of a weird one.
