Quick Tip: The Carabiner Brake

These are a couple of good techniques to know if you find yourself without a devise, either from dropping one or just simply forgetting it, here are a couple for you to still make it down safely to the car.

I’d be very wary of using that system because if the rope were to shift over the twisting knob of one of the gates (biner gets side loaded) it could possibly apply pressure causing the gate to twist open from locked to unlocked (dependant on orientation: CW/CCW, R.handed vs L.handed)
I forget what test scenario my buddy did, but he padded the ground very well, then rapped it while he watched the rope twist the gate open on a locker, and the millisecond that the gate twisted to the open position he found himself on the dirt with no time to react.

Why not use a military single carabiner rappel?

Nice presentation, thanks! However You should always emphasise on the importance of the use of a third hand and knots on the rope ends . ( sorry for my english, I live in the french part of Switzerland) . 👋🏔

Isn't that personal anchor little too thin

[ВеласТаиров]

Yeah but line from carabiners to your safety harnes is 6 mm with main line 8-9mm ....is it logical? I don't think so😂

I know weight's a consideration but how much backup do you take on a climb - eg extra belay device?
