    No She is clipped in, when she reaches the shelf she clips onto the line handed to her, although there are people that do free climb, but that requires a level of confidence that is superhuman. Even clipped in a slip can result in injuries. Incredible! 73 Jeff

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Back in the late 80'-early 90's solar cycle 22 I think, it was the same thing, CB was a war zone.
