Step 0: The unweighted system.
Step 3: Prussik affixed to lead line and weighted. Note that I had to install an anchor point down below to anchor the prussik because the masterpoint is not weighted by the fallen leader..
Step 1: another shot of the anchor and weighted belay after the leader has fallen.
Step 4: One mopre shot of the system after I have unclipped the belay.
Step 4: The munter-mule is untied, and the prussik is backed up with a bight clipped to the masterpoint with a locker. I am now free to unclip the belay device.
Step 3: Another shot of the weighted prussik. The munter-mule is still tied and clipped to the masterpoint with the red sling.
Step 2: Shot of the anchor with the munter-mule tied and clipped to masterpoint.
Step 2: Tied off munter-mule with overhand back-up. the red sling and wire gate are clipping the loop of the munter-mule to the masterpoint.
Step 1: My weighted harness & belay. (My figure 8 is poorly dressed).
Step 1: The anchor. The leader has fallen and her full weight is on my harness & belay.
