With the exception mentioned by Johngo6283 below, this is about as perfect an instruction video as you can get for a rappel. Some might consider a Prussik above the ATC Guide, especially if they are new to rappelling.

Even though there are some mistakes, this is the only video (out the hundreds I've watched) that actually shows you how to rapell. It shows you how to feed the rope thru the device and where to put your hands/body position. All the other videos only show you how to set up a rap. Not how to actually rapell.

I agree with most of the comments. She has some good tips, and many things that were neglected to be shown here. If anyone wants a beginners tutorial for rappelling that shows more of the safety feel free to check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIfSq5hnftWXjKs

A lot of comments about safety knots and a prusik back up. 1. If a safety knot is at the end of a rope and it’s already on the ground, a safety knot is pointless. You’d hit the ground way before you met the end of your rope. 2. Prusiks are awesome for stopping mid rappel and doing work or if you’re just scared to rip.
@sendit28734 жыл бұрын
be sure to tie stopper knots at the ends of your rope even if it touches the ground never skimp on safety when climbing or rappelling and use a backup like a prussik or autoblock

No helmet on the side of a cliff in an instructor atmosphere is no bueno. Moreover, it is irresponsible, sending a very bad message for many novice climbers seeking outdoor instruction.

At the end - very educational video if you read comments. I saw all the mentioned mistakes (prusik, end knots, helmet), but I liked the video because before that I saw a one with rappelling of a single carabiner attached to a single anchor on a single rope.

Thanks to all the commenters, as a beginner I didn't think of using such stuff as the Prussic knot and making a knot at the end for safety. But looking at it now that I know about these things it seems crazy not to. Glad I looked at the comments after. This video is really skipping over some major safety rules.

Wow; now I know I am ,BY NO MEANS ,more than a simple novice when it comes to climbing or rappelling but with that said ; I myself was perfectly able to take away from the video, the few basic and correct techniques she was trying to get across in a fairly short video...yeah, there are numerous other safety concerns & vital steps to take before attempting your first real rappel but I think that it is the sole responsibility of the individual to seek out that detailed instruction apart from just casually watching KZbin Vids. And, for the most part, I think I can speak for the majority of novices or beginners that completely understand that truth....why sit and troll KZbin vids for something or someone to bash or criticize into oblivion instead of trying to say something encouraging or actually helpful that doesn't make a newcomer or somebody just throwing the idea around ,of trying this, feel totally put off by this negative, know-it-all BS. Damn, help each other instead of trying to make everyone else that isn't you ,look stupid!
@aaronrobertson80227 жыл бұрын
Why all the hate. We dont know if someone was at bottom giving a belay. If the route isnt very steep and its clean there are times I dont use an auto block. I took this video as a tips video not instruction. If someone is using this as an instruction video they should rethink and get away from you tube anyway. Formal instruction is a must for anything climbing related.

Stopper knots are always a good idea though. It would be a bad bad day to abseil out of the atc.

You should NEVER use a Daisy Chain to support your weight. What most people mistake for a "Daisy Chain" is actual called a Personal Anchor System, or PAS. Out of all the bad habits I have seen for Rappelling videos so far, this video takes the cake.

Yea, watching this again. Appallingly BAD. Where's you helmet and gloves? If you crack you head against the rock, you're done for sure. Also, you risk getting serious rope burns without gloves. This technique and the lack of safety gear is seriously poor. Anyone watching this should simply ignore it and go find a competent instructor. This person would have failed any course I took.

hand goes into 4:03 braking teeth of the device ? The function of the belay device aside, or prussic knot, or safety knot or helmet, I would not use this method of rappelling for 3 reasons. (yep, the method)
@markjanssen24378 жыл бұрын
To the already long list of which i find the Autoblock or prussik and endknot safetywise most important. No matter how experienced you are only one curious wasp can change a scenario. Rock/forest formations are ideal. And i would add a third, not yet named, safety risc. no scissors:-) As in: No lose long hair on any rappel!!! In case of resting, overhang, footslip, the belay device is close to the body and at breast hight and lose long hair can easy get pulled into ATC/Figure 8 etc. And there is no way out. No up or down, And with no prussik and scissors/knive that becomes a rescue situation.

If you care about yourself DON'T do it this way, it involves 2 MAJOR mistakes. No stopper knots at the end of the rope, and no back up knot for the ATC.
