Yes to secure yourself.
You clip the sling on your harness, and in parallel, you use an abseiling device to get down.

Hasn't voted | We call it "Machard" in France.
It is supposedly better with a locking carabiner indeed. But with an express you have more space to move around.

| bijan_tango | self-jam knot | | 
Hasn't voted | well this special type of knot is called marshal knot.it has one-way lock ability.prussik in the other hand has two way locking ability but has less grip than marshal.if use a carabiner with it the carabiner SHOULD NOT be used as a load holder.and to get the best grip you should use 4 turn on the main rope.less or more turns would cause decrease in knot`s grip. | | Posted Jul 22, 2007 1:41 pm |
