Federation Mountain Rescue   (Site not responding. Last check: ) For present purposes abseiling or rappelling will be any technique used for descending steep or vertical surfaces with the aid of a sound anchor, an adequate rope, optionally a harness and optionally a friction device. An obvious potential problem, common to all methods in which the abseil device is some distance from the harness, is the possibility of hand jam as one swings inwards after passing the lip of an overhang. Abseiling to almost the pool, locking off the abseil, and then removing the Autoblock, enables a quick descent the last metre or so into the pool with the usual release of the abseil device. www.geocities.com /fmrqld/abnew.htm   (4710 words)

Rock Climbing Tech Tips: Backing Up An Abseil The descender heads off as normal, except that their buddy down below holds the slack end of the rope (pictured right) and is ready to pull down, and thus lock off the descender's device (dependant on device used), at the first sign of trouble. When abseiling, most climbers like to tie a knot in each end (eg, a stopper knot), other's prefer a single knot joining the ends, but in my experience this can lead to twisting. To avoid this potential hazard the friction knot must be formed with a loop of cord sufficiently small enough, or (and this appears to be the more common means), the descending device needs to be extended away from the harness via a sling. www.chockstone.org /TechTips/RapBackup.htm   (2007 words)
