"I hooked up [two] my shock absorbing lanyards" You really didn't read it, did you?

  "shock absorbing lanyards" could be anything, and there's a whole lot of personal anchors that people think will protect them, but actually won't. Better?

    How could he have been more specific that he was using an adequate safety device? Were you expecting him to include the brand?

      If he attached the lanyards to anything other than a harness, a fall would end poorly. I've seen people mis-rig harnesses - actual paid professionals who got hurried and got stupid - in ways that would have maimed or killed them if they fell.

      A snapshot of his setup would have been nice. Not so much for the gear Nazis, but to keep gear on the radar for readers who decide to try this themselves.

        unlike the total lack of gear shown in this photo https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5209/5315871803_95f74f1027_b.jpg https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5209/5315871803_95f74f1027_b... ?
