Wrist Tether...

[dlarbale]

All,

Just a quick question. A friend of mine has just finished cavern/sinkhole (CDAA) and mentioned that they use a wrist tether to clip the reel to when it's not in use so that they can do tie-offs.

Does anyone else use this? If not what do you do with your reel whilst doing tie-offs, following a pre-laid line etc.

Thanks - Dave.

No lanyards or wrist bracelets of any kind (we've got a reputation to protect)- That is what your buddy is for. The lead guy doesn't do all the work with the buddy coasting on his laurels ......You pull your weight or get kicked off the team. Second man sets the wraps/tieoffs.

:doctor: Let me see if I understand your question regarding a wrist tether?

NOPE! Work as a team. You secure your reel to prevent entanglement until needed. Keep things simple, when you are doing the tie off, wraps, jumps whatever, work your reel in the easiest way you can and within the team plan..
