Here's a sample pic of a false crotch with a strap:
I was wondering for repeated climbs, if I wanted to leave a false crotch in place for an extended period of time, such that I would carry a climbing line in with me and leave a throw line behind to "swap out" with when I arrive, is there any concern in leaving either a strap or rope (thread) based false crotch behind and exposed to the elements and critters that may otherwise compromise the security of the crotch?
Alternately I was thinking about using a steel cord or chain based false crotch which I could set up after initially using a strap/rope based one and reaching the respective height.
Any thoughts on that?
