Can my rappel device melt through my rope? ATS presents an informative look at the question many have asked after getting off rappel while canyoneering or rock climbing and nearly burn themselves on a too hot rappel device. Many thanks to the Sterling Rope Company for use of their test lab.

  • Great stuff. Thanks for taking the time and effort to educate we lay folk

  • What great info! Wish I knew cool guys like this...

  • You guys do some cool stuff!

  • Yeah, but what if I was rappelling onto the surface of the sun?

    This was a wildly entertaining video, even with the tomfoolery.

  • Awesome video! Keep up the good work.
