Description

This is an *informal practice session,* not a course. I’d like
to get
together and practice some rappelling
techniques. I’m giving registration priority to people who
have just
taken the intro to rock, top-rope
anchors, and basic mountaineering course this year and
want to cement
their new skills with some group
practice.

Basic stuff to practice:

• setting up a rappel anchor
• setting up a prusik backup
• rapping down

For people who are comfortable with the basics, we can try
out some next-level stuff:

• multipitch rappels
• building and assessing tree anchors for multipitch
  rappels
  in Squamish
• how to climb back up the rope if you go down past the
  anchor

Requirements:
Previous rappelling instruction or practice.

Review before the session:

• anchor building
• rappel technique
• prusik knot
• If you want to practice climbing the rappel rope, review
  rope climbing technique.
