That was a good refresher. Every once in a blue moon we all do something that's not quite so safe don't we MCpl????

safety is key.....if its not your focus; you're stupid and going to die :roll:

always doing knot/harness/anchor checks is cool...i always do it....no matter your or your partner's experience level, NEVER NEVER NEVER be shy when it comes to questioning technique or safety

another thing to practice often is self-rescue....a belayer becomes useless if something happens to the leader...ya don't multi-pitch with a belayer who can't lead and solo-belay, if the route is wired its ok, but there's always the unknown factor....even on something like the Apron, i've seen dumpster sized blocks go tumbling down it :shock:
Nothing like the sound of thumpin' a piton first thing in the morning...

There's nothing wrong with that biner.
You could safely use it as a single protection point while threading your 60 meter rope through the American Triangle anchor on a 35 meter route.
