Rock Climbing : How to Make a Rappelling Harness

Making a rappelling harness involves tying two leg loops, wrapping webbing around the waist and clipping all of the webbing together with a carabiner. Build a rappelling harness after seeking proper instruction with safety information from an experienced rock climber and stunt man in this free video on extreme sports.

will everyone shut the fuck up. i am so sick of you retards who have nothing better to do but sit here and critisize other peoples work. so go to hell

ok people go buy a real harness before climbing.....

Also, i feel much safer spider-rappelling in this harness than in the swiss seat.

Alright, I have just rappelled out of my window with this harness. I the cross section too high up, so I guess it's my fault that my waist is painful. The same goes for the swiss seat, anyways. If tied properly, both the swiss seat and this harness do not hurt the waist so much, but if you take your future children into account then I would recommend this harness.

@6gir Buy a harness????

@eclipsegsxhks1 this is a handy technique for scrambling or if you find yourself in a situation where you didn't take a harness but still Scott Keisling, stop making instruction videos.

just coz the rest of u are to lazey or to stupid to make your own harnes shut up i never knew how to make a harnes and after i lert this ive always used it ever since so shut up and get a life

I would not use this harness. The waist is far too loose and will loosen further when the hips are bent in a seated position. Both the Swiss Seat and full body harness the firefighters use are far superior for expedient alternate emergency harnesses, and of course a real harness is best.

I hate when ads buffer 0:01

@eclipsegsxhks1 climbing yes, and any serious rapelling yes, small stuff, a harness would be good but its not mandatory

When bringing the webbing through the leg loops, does it pass under and through or over and through (or does it not matter)? In the video you seem to the first leg (your right) under, an the second leg over.
