Q Rappelling
Rappelling is the science of sliding down a rope and is often the easiest and safest way to the bottom of the cliff. Although relatively easy to master, this is one activity that causes more accidents than any other because it is easy to become overconfident and make mistakes. Learning the Proper Use of Equipment, Ropemanship, Anchoring, Belaying, Safety Rules, Proper Hooking Up and Exiting, Communication, How to Control the Rappel, as well as the physics and mathematical data dealing with strength and capabilities of rappel equipment and anchors are essential in the safe performance of this activity. Remember, learning to rappel on your own can be deadly.
