So in practice it just sets in the notch/stub really tightly and consistently? Not much likelihood of slippage or coming out? The friction seems like it must be brutal.

Lol. The bear was looking dead calm. You could tell it wasn't his first time.

I follow ya now. Even 'just knocking your spikes out' seems like it would be pretty damn violent or potential for some injury. I mean your spurs are set firmly at that point in the process. I believe it's done, but it'll never happen by me.

That's how it's normally done, with the notched rigging point below the climber? Seems like it would make sense so if the rig line came out it wouldn't wipe the climber off their feet but at the same time it makes for a long drop? I guess you'd get a feel for if the spar is rotten or not when...

That's what I was thinking. Interesting to see the technique though.
