:33:03
I carried on lowering him, until I
reached the knot, then shook the rope.
:33:08
My signal to him, to take
the weight off the rope.
:33:13
And nothing happened.
:33:17
And nothing continued to happen.
:33:46
I knew, that the only way out of
this is if I could climb up the rope.
:34:04
I had two prusik loops. Prusik
loops are thin cords of rope.
:34:10
And if you use a special twisting knot
on the rope, you can slide it up the rope,
:34:15
and pull on it, and
the knot grips the rope.
:34:17
Clip a snapping to it and then a
sling to it, and you can stand up.
:34:20
And if you got another one, tied
above it, you slide that one up,
:34:24
Standing this loop is now higher.
:34:37
I was trying to hold myself
upright, to keep the rope in place.
:34:40
And then trying to put this knot
through itself, and through itself,
:34:43
and this fiddly bloody rope... it is just
hard to describe how I couldn't do it.
:34:47
Because my fingers, I just
couldn't feel the fingers at all.
:34:50
And I'd be looking and trying to
push the thing in, and using my teeth,
:34:53
and getting it round,
and getting it round.
