-
you guys have no problem trusting your equipment..
-
I love this vid, it inspired me to give it a go (still building up to the big stuff)
Thanks Guys!!!!
-
And NEVER do this with an ATC guide and a $40 Black Diamond harness, you will have webbing in your ass crack.
-
@agkukun It takes some getting used to, but it's not hard, I need to get a new harness and descender before I can rappel like this.
-
@TheCoorsLightman09 heh, nice name, I think I would brake it.... I've practice a little rappeling but that would still scare the cr*p out of me... is it too hard??
-
@agkukun Yes, it's called your breaking hand and it's best to wear gloves when doing it.
-
how you do it?? you slow de fall at the end with nothing but your hands??

Rap Jumping Racing down the Watermark fasttttttby liakcam1,208 views
We triple check our equipment each time and don't use any gear that looks like its beginning to wear. We also have a buddy system for checking our harnesses, making sure they are secure, just before each jump.

You do not only brake with your hand. Even if you had great gloves braking with only your hand would burn through it. The glove is to keep from burning your hand when you freefall with the rope in a loose grip. When you want to stop you pull the rope across your body. The added friction of the rope getting pulled around your body is what slows you. In the video our friend tried to stop by squeezing the rope his hand got pulled back to the figure 8 on his harness and he got stuck. It's important

To answer the questions: song is covered by me first and the gimmie gimmies. And static rope. Dynamic rope is a no no for rappelling.

i just learned about this sport todoay, its called austrailan repelling, as i was buying all my gear to start repelling i noticed the brochure on the wall said they would not ever reccomend doing that nor would they give you any info on what you need to do it,,this was at REI here in colorado, my first day is tomm i cant wait to try this shit. not aussi style, well not yet anyways,,if any of you climbers are ever in the denver area and need a extra person to go out with, email me,

Yup, it's called Aussie Rappelling, or Australian Rappelling because the Australian military is trained to rappell forward.

what harness's are you guys using? Do you use regular harness's turned around or one with a back d ring/ I just bought a yates lightweight assault harness with back d ring, that should work for aussie style right?

in this video we're just using a long strip of webbing tied into a harness. We now all have Australian assault harnesses with the back D ring.
