What is the correct way to attach an autoblock to your harness for rappelling? Just to round out your comments--is a klemheist only for below the belay device as well? |

When climbing should a carabiner ever be clipped to the tie-in loops, and should anything other than a carabiner ever attach to the belay loop? looking back over this I'll break it out to a 2nd question, thanks again |

If an autoblock inteferes with a belay device will a fireman belay have any effect? so the safe answer would be that it could make the fireman's belay less effective. I'm thinking I'll be doing lots of learning on an autobelay in the gym until I'm sure I've got the autoblock down-pat |

What is the correct way to attach an autoblock to your harness for rappelling? Do leg loops have any standard strength rating? Would there be any concern about them catching a slip/short fall--even though they only need to catch enough weight to apply the brake and not the full weight of the fall? |

Thanks for all the input David, I kept them together as the first two questions influenced the third, and they're all related to "where can I tie what?". Thanks for the book recommendations, too--I'll look into them. |
