neat trick. We rappelled on something similar when OldNo7 took us through Hiddenstar. Pretty cool stuff.
Ah but yes! It's the "cut the sheep shank" trick! The "hitch" normally would be used to shorten a "line" without cutting it, but a little ingenuity (and cajones much bigger than mine) has allowed him another "got away with it!" episode! Have known folks that have used this in the past.
Seems like that could save your ass in a rough sittuation.
