Prerig a rappel by lowering your partner #climbing #rappelling #rockclimbing

I love this idea and will be testing it for low angle rappels. So often rope management is a pain on multi pitch low angle rappels. You cannot throw the rope down and have to do lap coils and saddle bags. I think this will solve that problem.

Could you do a video on properly dressing knots like the figure 8 follow through?

In France, for rappels we have often Fixe vertical anchors with a chain and a ring on the bottom bolt. I imagine I could use a munter on the top bolt and pass through the ring. But I never understood the real speed benefit of lowering except when the second downclimbs and so no need to unrope.

Hi Jason, is there a reason to choose auto block over klemheist or prussic?

Can the rope get stuck in the atc in this configuration?

[JorgePacker]

Why don't you just use the belay device on your harness to lower the climber? Just like lowering someone after reaching the top of a climb

Horrible 8, I doesn’t matter if it’s not dressed properly for that application but don’t do a video if you don’t dress it.
