After reaching the top of a climb, how do you transition into a rappel? This video shows how to organize your rope, thread the chains, tie knots in the ends of your rope, throw the rope down the cliff, and load your rappel device. The video demonstrates a rappel using an extension and friction hitch back-up for added security.

Good call on the overhand on a bight below the friction hitch as a backup and to prevent losing the middle. first time I've seen that and it makes so much sense.

leaving the rope in a pile at your feet, not attached to anything is a bad idea. I've rescued 2 parties over the years that untied at the chains and then proceeded to drop their rope

Well I just bough a harness and rope and caribners and self belley system and 2 strans of 60m of rope from REI. Let’s hope I don’t get stuck hanging from my back porch trying to learn 😅

Never stop learning!

Getting a lot of abrasion across the sheath of the rope on that rock when making your piles pulling through the chain links.

I believe you meant harpoon when you were talking about torpedoes.

How do you rappel from the bottom?

@skillsforclimbing Год назад

Hahaha- nice one @PapP148. Rappelling from the bottom is an advanced technique I learned from a Warner Brothers cartoon, but it can't be done if you believe in gravity. Thanks for watching!

That PAS is static cord. It's not rated to take a fall from above. It could shock load and fail. You should never be above your anchor on a PAS or static cord.

@eloimauri6235 3 года назад

I thought about that too. honestly, I know some people would do all these manouvers without even clipping the sling to the anchor, just confidently standing there. I rarely climb with a dynamic sling, I use dynema, so I'd probably just be careful and have it clipped like he did just in case
