And do you shoes up
My instincts tell me the more complicated it gets like this, the more likely you'll miss something. Anyone else feel that?
I've used a Prusik knot clipped onto my right leg loop and the ropes off to the right where my prusik knot is, for a brake(Friction hitch).
One of my first times rappelling, my friend tied me in to the belay device at the top of the cliff. When I got to the bottom, his son, who had been in Special Forces and was an expert at rappelling, looked at my set up, looked up the cliff at his dad and shouted, "Dad, you tied him in wrong! Didn't we already go over this?!" Oops.
What if prusik breaks. What if the rope you use for prusik does not hold
But to be a true "Rappler" you have to yell, ON BELAY. that way they know you're French no matter where you come from.
Excellent video as usual – but one thing, when you talk about stopper knots at the end of your rope, you show them on the ground! That won't keep you from hitting the ground like a correct stopper knot would!
I’d hate for them to see how I rappelled as a kid at camp with a carabiner and figure 8. But hey, it was the 80’s!
Also, never rappel alone… always have someone w you in case bad turn into worst…
2:24 that is a PAS, it doesn't matter if it's hooked up to two links unless you clip the biner that went direct to the anchor back into the belay loop….nm commented too quickly
Not trying to be critical but you can rappel with a caribeaner…. Or a super 8x and you don't really need a prussiks for that.
How is clipping your carabiner through two loops redundant? If the bottom one fails, being clipped into the top one does nothing.

gloves?
Isn't a prusik knot better than a friction hitch as a security?
These lighter reflective cords are great for 'extreme senior athletes' trying to shed grams. >>>allmy.tips/NiteIzeCord?zz« These are actually medium weight. You can buy lighter for staking tents, but these work well for hanging bear bags.
This video was clearly not intended for beginners.
For someone who does not know how to rappel, this video is not useful. Too much information, too fast. Maybe it would be better for somebody with some experience, who was just looking for a quick refresher.

rappeling of irshalag
what an annoying voice. REI couldn't hire someone better with a soothing voice?
putting rope between the legs okay?
