LOL Kent,
Amy is caving nearly every weekend in TAG and has already done several british caves, bridge day and whitesides. She also does capiopera SP? a martial arts dancing thing. Technique aside, she does quite a lot :)

Another problem with a loose harness is that it present an opportunity for the D-ring to rotate thus putting a strain perpendicular to the loading axis and against the gate "cross loaded". I wouldn't advise it.

I would expect that this technique and equipment will allow her to take on simple open air drops of no great depth... But really, if she just sprinkles in a couple of trips a year to say an 80 foot pit that is led by an experienced vertical trip leader... Hope she keeps it up enough that she get's in a little better shape and shows us doubters what for.
