Razor,
That is spot on. When Dewey C. and Greg S. taught me at SWC that is exactly what the technique consisted of. And when I came out of the "chimney" in the Nasty Nick, D.C. said he was happy to see someone who could work a rope properly. The other obstacles hadn't worn me down because I utilized the proper technique. Having been an avid rock climber helped a little, too. The scummy "pond" at the end sure sucked though.
Cheers!
Mick
