Fast-roping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fast-roping is a technique for descending down a thick rope. Several people can slide down the same rope simultaneously provided that there is a gap of 3 metres or so between them, so that each one has time to get out of the way when they reach the ground before the next person lands on them. It is quicker than abseiling/rapelling, although more dangerous particularly if the person is carrying a heavy load because the rope is not attached to them with a descender. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Fast-roping
