And I am firmly in the palm down, thumb facing the belay device camp. Anything else does NOT have the power and control to hold a BIG fall.

You slaved me on your ORG visit and did just fine, regardless if it is Palm Up or Palm Down.
What ever works the best for you and still holds a fall, good to go in my book.
Me personally, Palm Down for both slaving and rapping.

Were you sweating on the rope or him? Maybe you didn't realize this little man was below you.

Wait till they see how you hold the head of an ice axe. Self-belay or self-arrest hold? End of World!
