Twists above the device? A recipe for a stuck rope (or elbow tendonitis).

Rapping with the ropes flaked over a sling on your harness is a great way to keep the ropes under control in high winds.

Gabbing to a hottie while unknowingly pulling up a knot is a sure way to lose cool points. Amazing how often this happens.

(an uglier feature below the rap would make for a nicer picture but i havent had the camera around for any of those this week. perhaps i will make a better picture sometime in the future and replace it)

When there is a feature below the station that might hang up the knot, be sure to clear it below the feature before you are far away.

A rope dissapearing into a crack? This is one of the most dire situations in terms of Losing-Your-Rope-Forever potential. Be careful.
