All our Abrv.

[Lumberjack]

I can figure out most people's abreviations, but others I don't know. I can't be the only person who wonders about some ot them and it would be good for us to use the same word to describe the same thing. Kinda like a dictionary of tree terms.

Just a thought

Spidey I think there is a typo.

DdRT = Doubled Rope Technique - Coined by Tom D. on the ISA discussion board several years ago to refer to our conventional method of climbing using a doubled rope.

DRT = Double Rope Technique - This is borrowed from other vertical applications. It refers to the technique of using two different ropes, each with its on anchor.
