Double Length Slings? Double Distance Fall?

If I lead Madame G's using only double length slings, and I fall, will I fall double the distance?

This question makes zero sense. Why would a double length sling double the distance of a leader fall?

Only if you're using double ropes.

Yes, you would because you'd fall twice.

Come on, now. This is a serious discussion.

Unless you're referring to bouncing. I could see falling, decking with a good bounce, then falling again. Frequently the case with double length slings.

You would fall further but not because of the slings, but because of that particular climb. Madame G's has greater "G" forces than other climbs.

I don't use slings most of the time. I stopped using them after I fell a little too far one time. I do a lot of down climbing to remove gear to remove rope drag, and then I may put some slings. There is no need to take those longer falls with slings.

If you climb Double-issima with double ropes and double slings, you will actually fall 8 times as far.

This is why you should never climb with half length slings - you just won't fall far enough.

You might want to look up the definitions of facetious, parody, and satire.

Facetiously contains all the vowels. In order.

trolllllll

crackers yer gonna need to upgrade ur troll material library. i very clearly remember fallin for this exact troll about 8 or 9 years ago when i was still employed. it was one of those rare days when i actually had to get somethin done but took a few minutes to rebut th thesis and then got swept up in th sihtstorm of honest debate and giggling trolls. ah memories.

Browndog, I can now honestly refute all the Alzheimer's rumors about you.

Crackers isn't a troll... but sometimes the smell of fresh NWD and lack of sleep makes him a little loopy.

They were the good old days, browndog.

Only when you're on it SethG!
