'On Rappel!' Scouting |
 | | 'On Rappel!' Scouting is an adventure activity to introduce youth to the field of mountaineering. |
 | | Rappelling or abseiling is the technique used to descend rope, the speed being controlled by friction between the rope and a braking device. |
 | | Rappel training can be part of a related field of mountaineering training, such as artificial wall climbing, top rope rock climbing, caving, and technical climbing (jumarring and prusiking); all of which offer interesting activities for youth. |
