very similar to a figure 8 block, nice variation for pirana users. Best of all they are both blocks and releasable contingency anchors. Way better than simply a biner block. I use a fig. 8 block on a high % of rappels. :popcorn:

Where are the pictures?

It happened again. Someone took it upon themselves to edit my post.

I received permission from the photographer (an ACA member) to post his images on the ACA's forum. No one, including me received permission to post the photos here. If anyone wants to see the photos, they need to click on the link I provided in the first post of this thread. The link works. I tested it. there is no problem with syntax.

If the moderator who edited my post does not want this thread here, delete the thread. Do not post the images without the photographer's permission.

Welcome to the forum, Steve. :cool2:

By the way, thanks for the pics. I couldn't seem to get them open on that link. That's an interesting configuration.

Some people do not want to sign on to another site just to see pictures, especially when each one of the 6 must be clicked on separately to see it. In addition, it is much easier to understand the sequence of the rigging when you can see the 6 pictures in succession, as Steve has graciously posted for us here at Bogley.

Umm, in case you hadn't noticed, Rich, pictures on the Internet are in the public domain, and unless you want to protect them with additional code, don't expect people to follow your rules.

If you want to credit the photographer, I suggest you use picture editing software to include the name of the person on the photo, as Tanya does with all of her beautiful pictures.

This version of the releasable block needs a biner safety clip in the loop to be safe.

Not MY rules. Saying that photos on the internet are public domain is like saying a photo in a magazine is public domain so anyone has the right to copy it and publish it in their own magazine.

That is true and is stated next to the photo at its source.

This is really odd. I just got off the phone with Steve. He told me he did not join this group today and certainly would not have granted permission to use the last two photos, which are mine, not his.

I know, I know. I'm just being a drama queen again. Sorry.

yes, you're correct, people break the law all the time on the internet ... constantly. copyright law is broken repeatedly on the internet and , in particular, on this forum every day. even posting an article from news website on this forum often breaks copyright law.

on the other hand, i like to think there is an etiquette amongst related forums and their users.

i didn't see it, but if rich's post was modified, then there is a problem with that.
