Short roping

The goal of this technique is not to arrest a fall, but to minimize the chance of a fall through the constant vigilance of the leader.

There is thus no limitation with the RAD LINE cord, provided that the belay method doesn't change along the way, for example by using anchor points to cross a steep section.

Note: most of the tests done with this technique demonstrated a high probability of a group fall regardless of the rope used. This technique is reserved for use by experienced and knowledgeable leaders.
