Quick rappel on a ridge climb

Speed and efficiency are often key to a successful ridge climb. A short descent that interrupts progression needs to be negotiated quickly. Therefore, lowering one of the team members optimizes rope installation and limits the risk of the rope snagging or tangling, or of rock fall.

Warnings

  • Read the technical notice before viewing the following techniques.
  • It is important to fully understand the information provided in the technical notice before using this complementary information
  • Mastering these techniques requires training.
  • Consult a professional before attempting to perform these techniques on your own.

The team members anchor themselves and then untie from the rope, running the rope through the rappel ring. The first team member to descend ties in again.

Without a rappel ring:

A cord must not be used as a directional point for lowering. The station must be temporarily reinforced with an additional anchor above, which is removed before the final rappel.

The descending team member chooses the best route and establishes the landing area.

He can also bring down the free end of the rope.

  • Less risk of a bad throw and loss of time.
  • The belayer must manage two moving rope strands at the same time.

The first member down anchors into the lower station, remains tied into the rope and ensures the free end is well positioned.
