Reel left in Jackson?

[JamesK]

I ain't leaving a reel over night. Only if I was setting up for a traverse the next day possibly. Jumps the same way. I don't worry about people following my lines, they are gonna do that regardless. I worry about someone taking my stuff. My LM reels are expensive!

You guys do realize that you can run a reel past the very spot where the gold line starts, right? I've seen numerous cave classes being taught at Peacock, where the reel is ran to nearly the peanut restriction as a practice thing.

Exactly! Just because the line at Twin starts at the entrance doesn't mean a line can't be run. I tell my students to treat the gold line as if it were someone's reel and to tie onto the gold line back by the stop sign.

If they've not been taught how to run a line properly as you state, then what good does practicing the wrong way do?

Because one can't learn without being taught? Unless the diver is a complete idiot or a complete a**hole, there is much to be learned from doing it wrong.
