  • @jbfaraday "Figure of eight" is a type of knot. Do a google search and it shows as an acceptable reference to rappelling.

  • what exactly is the blue rope for?

  • great video. I was wondering why you guys didn't use a chafing guard for the line on the edge of the rock?

  • Awesome video. Simply put and very well instructed. I never rappelled before and this video was so clearly taught that I watched it once and caught all the basics.

    Thanks

  • Hi, great video. Thank you! Just one comment: When rappeling I like to keep my free hand off the rope - in case I need to use it to push myself off the stuff I encounter along the way or if there's a chance for a nasty pendulum fall. But I'm sure there are as many techniques as there are climbers :). Climb on!

  • very useful, thankyou!

  • Excellent video, very helpful stuff

  • Great video. I'm about to buy all new gear. My old gear is getting some age. You showed me just what I was wanting to see the figure 8. I rappelled for years just using a locking D-ring. I like just the D-ring because I can adjust the friction for new ppl or less to take larger jumps.....but think I'll get the figure 8 also and see how I like it.
