What????

You do this with a SINGLE carabiner? Not a locker? Not a pair opposed and opposite??????

How can you expose your family to such unsafe techniques?
No skilled and trained climber would do such a thing! The rule is that you never bet your life on a single piece of gear, particularly metal gear. Yikes!

It goes to show you that there are different tolerances for risk, and different mitigations for safety.

There are apparently also those who walk up the rock in sticky rubber, 20 feet away from the cables. c'est le vie.
