Description

For a break in the climbing, we set up a releasable abseil and all as a few goes on it. First attempt wasn't brilliant but we found a better ledge and set up which worked perfectly. John and myself took turns releasing each others abseil o free the jam and then belayed each other back up the crag. Could definitely do with a bit of rug to protect the rope at the edge.
Also interesting to note just how scared people can be when committing to the step off. It's a scary moment for people.
