Interesting to me to use the vt when water is involved. Ive always found its much more likely to jam when the rope is wet, and makes it uncomfortable trying to unjam it in flow.
Only in low flow, but it is certainly a risk assessment, dangers of getting stuck vs risk of a fall. In high flow I wont ever use it because that risk of getting stuck and having an adverse outcome is way higher. For this rap we felt the flow was low enough to use and protect ourselves against a fall
Claustral… this canyon is awesome
Spot on and yeah it was amazing!
