Question of the Day - Sunday, December 1st, 2024

[BDutch]

Yes

 

[tripletfeb]

Yes but while doing inside rock climbing

 

[Sally PB]

It holds no attraction for me.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Tried and failed epically at a course 5 or so years ago

 

[TeresaW]

No. They tried to make me during a college ROTC course, though.

 

[Evadig]

What is rappelling?

 

[bill3607]

Yes, mostly in caves but a couple times in the outer world.

 

[Gill-b]

Yes, while doing traditional rock climbing and sport (or bolt) rock climbing, both done outdoors. My longest repel was about six story high off a mountain side, but done in two sections with a small ledge in-between. I am now about ten years retired from rock climbing.

 

[Gill-b]

What is rappelling?

Hellooo

In simple terms, it is sliding down a rope.

One can use your feet to push off from the face of the surface you are lowering down on. Then again, one can also repel down a rope from a helicopter for instance, where there is no surface to push off of.

I hope this explains well enough?

 

[HorseGirlAbby]

No, want to someday though...
