Emergency Rappelling

[rockclimbinghacks]

Believe it or not, there's a way to emergency rappel without a belt or carabiners. It's called Dülfersitz.

I would recommend learning or applying one of two knows for a better anchor. Either a bowline on a bite with an overhand back up, or the equivocation hitch. The use of a munter can better be improved by doubling over the tree and using both strands in order to recover the rope. The equivocation hitch will offer the same benefit.

Overhand on a bite?? Why not just a figure 8?

How do you recover the rope from the bottom of the cliff if you’re by yourself?

Figure 8 would be better to anchor with.

What you called a "loop" is called a "bite" a loop is an e shape a bite is a U shape (terminology police) 😂
