This seems necessarily dangerous for normal mountaineering. I could see this possibly working in the military when you might get shot if you are slow, however this relying on a rope to not slip seems silly. What if I use smaller diameter rope, nylon versus whatever that rope was, or if there are wet conditions. I don't think this is an everyday type of technique. That being said, thank you grbroussard for your service.

@danballarin We used it for a "hasty" rappel. You think thats crazy you should see how we rappel out of helos! I will have to make a video on that deal. Thanks for the comment.

Much better than how I did it. With the exception of ineffieciency and danger, the method you have presented here is far surperior to mine in every way.

Thank you for posting.

@Neverjinxed It has never failed on me "yet" Hope it stays that way.

Just to clarify, for the second rope recovery "yours", last man takes the biner off, and rapels down, then procedes to recover the rope?

[grbroussard]

@nisher15 That is correct.

I got it now. I understand how to retrieve the rope. I don't have to do it Bear Grill's (Man vs Wild dude) way after all. Thank you!
