Actually, most southeastern US cavers don't use ropewalker. Thats more of a texas thing.

[edit] deletion from Systems

I really don't like deleting others' work, but I felt that the new paragraph on Jamaican technique did not describe a 'system' of SRT. Every region has its own local variations on rope thicknesses/lengths used; perhaps a general comment to this effect would be better than each nation detailing its own variants, which would make for a very long article... Have a look via article/history at the deleted text and add your thoughts here, please. Ian mckenzie 02:10, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed - the "Jamaican system" is just a variant, of the types we all use (well, those of us who use SRT at all!) for adaptation to local aims and circumstances. It's not a separate "technique". Steve Roberts 21:06, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
