The many rope manipulations involved in caving can<br />
take precious time. Good organization allows efficient<br />
passage of intermediate anchors, leaving more time<br />
for the activity itself.<br />
1. Tether yourself into the<br />
anchor when you arrive at its<br />
level.<br />
If both hands are required for<br />
tethering, tie off the rope on<br />
the STOP in order to free the<br />
hand from the braking end of<br />
the rope.<br />
Example of a tie-off for short<br />
stops<br />
2. Descend to transfer your<br />
weight onto the lanyard.<br />
Remove the STOP and put it<br />
back on the rope under the<br />
knot.<br />
