Outdoor Rock Climbing : How to Rappel


Rappelling requires using a figure-8 and a locking carabiner for a secure point of anchor, and it is best to rappel with a partner so each can inspect the other's ropes and harnesses before leaning back. Understand the basic principles of rappelling with helpful advice from an experienced climber in this free video on rock climbing.

Basic Training Rappel Tower


This is video that was recorded by a photography company in Columbus, Georgia while I was in US Army Basic Combat Training from August-Nov 1997. This company would record various bits of training and then rip of the Joes by charging them large quantities of hard-earned money for this bouncy, grainy video. Anyways....its good to have this record of what I was going through, though it is hardly all-encompassing. This is video from the rappel tower. I only rappeled once in the Army and this was it. I was Airborne so we parachuted from airplanes and helicopters...so no rappeling for me after this. I didn't go to ranger school either so I probably missed out some there. This served to familiarize us with rappel techniques and build confidence. This is the final clip from my Basic Training video. Hope you enjoyed them, and just remember....they didn't videotape the good stuff like the yelling, getting smoked at 3am...the good stuff :-)

Rappelling / Abseilling: Techniques, useful outdoor skills


www.peaksurvival.us For more info: The primary use of Abseiling is a technique used by rock climbers and mountaineers to descend a pitch or section of climb. The main benefit of Abseiling or Rappelling is speed as once a climber has finished a climb, descent is often the trickiest and most dangerous part. When we talk about Abseiling or Rappelling with reference to a survival situation then we normally make the assumption that the only commodity we have access to is a rope. Rock climbers and mountaineers have many ways to attach themselves to the rope and slow there means of descent by friction: * Karabiner with an Italian Hitch (friction knot) * Karabiner with figure of 8 descender * Karabiner with Stitch plate * Karabiner with GriGri * Karabiner with Petzl stop Unless you have access to a harness and karabiner or a sling and karabiner, then you are limited to using a body abseil:

Descending - Rappel


This video illustrates some of the knots used in the Cornell Tree Climbing Institute's instructional classes. This information is not intended to be an online tutorial for beginners. Our intent is to share these general procedures with other qualified professionals who are interested in developing a college-based recreational tree climbing program. Tree climbing can be hazardous! If you are new to tree climbing, seek qualified instruction before attempting these techniques.

Rappel accident, 60' fall


At Thalehaha Falls in Rubio Canyon, Altadena, CA. Matt slipped on the mossy waterfall face and let go of his brake line. His autoblock was not affixed properly, as verified by a still frame, and did not grab. He fell 60'. Miraculously he was just banged up and bruised. His helmet certainly served well, as he banged his head on the way down. Truly something. Obviously the vanity of capturing a video instead of doing a fireman's belay almost resulted in serious injury or worse.

Changeover From Prusik to Rappel


In this video I demonstrate (poorly) how to change from ascending a vertical rope using prusik knots, to rappelling down the rope on an "8" ring descender. I have not been professionally trained in these techniques, so please don't try them yourself. I recommend seeking out a professional mountaineering school or taking a rope rescue course if you want to try this. Now that that's out of the way... I don't have any easily accessible cliffs in my area. The ones that are close are full of loose sedimentary rocks and I've seen someone get their arm broken by an eggplant sized stone during a rappel off a sedimentary cliff. So, I rigged to the highest point I could find, my 7 foot high workshop loft! :D Still, it was just high enough to demonstrate the technique. Perhaps I'll make a video next time of changing from rappel to ascend. ;-)

Firefighter Escape Systems - Rappelling


This video explains and demonstrates two rappel methods for deploying an escape system - Both standard positioning as well as feet down orientation. Remember there are 3 - 4 main elements to exiting a window or off a roof safely: First is establishing an appropriate anchor, Second is attaching the escape system to your belt or harness (if it's not already pre-attached), Third is negotiating the sill or roof edge and Fourth is the rappel or descent to the ground or safe evac point - This video focuses mostly on the rappel. The demo was performed using a CMC Escape Artist with a substantial object as the anchor. Students in in the HEATT (High Emergency Advanced Tactics Training) program have the opportunity to use a variety of escape systems and components, including: Rope from CMC, Sterling and RIT Rescue DCDs - Including the CMC Escape Artist, Sterling F4, Petzl EXO (tactical) and the HALO by Xtreme Rescue Carabiners from CMC, Petzl, SMC and Black Diamond Anchor Hooks - Including the CMC Flash, NARS/RPI, Crosby, Meridian and Skedco Escape Belts and Harnesses from Gemtor, RIT Rescue, Morning Pride, Xtreme Rescue and Baldwinsville. Even though not shown in the Instructor demo, it is critical to use full fall arrest protection anytime students are training at height with an escape system - Regardless if it's for the first or hundredth time they've bailed. Train, Be Prepared, Stay Safe, Make the Save and SURVIVE! Dale G. Pekel

Rappelling off Devil's Tower


This clip was my first repel off Devil's Tower with my helmet cam. I had to cut out some of the pit-stop in the middle. It was too long. Ken Domik KBDProductionsTV YouTube - www.youtube.com Twitter - twitter.com FaceBook - www.facebook.com Devils Tower (Lakota: Mato Tipila, which means "Bear Lodge") is a monolithic igneous intrusion or volcanic neck located in the Black Hills near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises dramatically 1267 feet (386 m) above the surrounding terrain and the summit is 5112 feet (1558 m) above sea level. Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The Monument's boundary encloses an area of 1347 acres (5.45 km2). In recent years about 1% of the Monument's 400000 annual visitors climb Devils Tower, mostly through traditional climbing techniques. Devils Tower, Tribes including the Arapaho, Crow, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Lakota, and Shoshone had cultural and geographical ties to the monolith before European and early American immigrants reached Wyoming. Their names for the monolith include: Aloft on a Rock (Kiowa), Bear's House (Cheyenne, Crow), Bear's Lair (Cheyenne, Crow), Bear's Lodge (Cheyenne, Lakota), Bear's Lodge Butte (Lakota), Bear's Tipi (Arapaho, Cheyenne), Tree Rock (Kiowa), and Grizzly Bear Lodge (Lakota). The name Devil's Tower originated in 1875 during an expedition led by Col. Richard <b>...</b>

How to Rig an Autoblock Rappel Backup


This video tech tip describes how to rig an autoblock friction hitch as a backup in a rappel system. We often use this system to increase our margin of safety when rappelling. The backup gives us some extra peace of mind anytime the rope is difficult to hold onto or if there is a chance we could accidentally let go of the rope while descending. For example, if there is potential for rockfall or icefall, if the ropes are icy and/or wet, if it is very windy, or if we simply want to stop and take a photo while rappelling down.

This video deals with a few tips about getting the ends of the rope down when wind is present. This video does not cover rappelling in any great detail as we have done that in more detail on other videos. Most of the time grabbing a few coils throwing them off to space is enough. As the wind picks up you may actually have to carry the coils down with you. This is not as bad as one might think if done correctly.

Rappelling Safety The Autobloc


How to back up your rappel and add safety. OK after many requests and discussion here it is - The Auto Bloc has like anything Pros & Cons. One thing good about it is it can be released under load wich makes it a good back up during a repel. I do not recommend using it in any type of raising, lowering our hauling system because it can release inadvertently - To use as a back up during rapel, "Pre Rig" it on the rope before going over the edge and remember to clip it off using a locking carabiner to your harness. You can add an extension if it does not reach but be sure the extension like the autobloc is made with materials designed for mountain climbing or of "Rescue" quality. Attach above the decent device then to your harness or on the brake side of the rope. The Autobloc will lock up under load on a dry,un frozen and clean rope. Then when your ready to continue your decent, just give it a quick pull from above and your back in business.
