Vertical caving terminology and methods > SRT basic terms
Being unable to perform a manoeuvre, and being unable to recover the situation by performing a different manoeuvre, making it impossible to abseil or prusik. Most often caused by spaghetti turning into a tangle or confusion, or just running out of strength. Alternatively, it can be caused by jamming the highest ascender against a knot, such that it cannot be removed by reverse prusiking. This is a potentially serious situation, requiring help or an improvised rescue.
