![]() ![]() ![]() The easiest way I can think if is to rap before your partner who is at the station above you OR stack up below them if they need to rap to bring the strands close to you.ĭan Gozdz wrote: Haven't had to do it much but I've gotten better each time that I have.ĭan, your post is very helpful. If so, remember to have a way to keep the rope from escaping from you so you're not stranded after your partner raps past. If you went past a rap station, you might want to just build a gear anchor and have your partner set up the station that you passed. You can use pre-cut prusiks, alpine slings, your cordalette, or just about any cordage to reascend the rope. In a free hanging rap or blank terrain you can use prusiks to move yourself back up but that's another "fun" topic.Īndy's link has a video that shows it well. Make a new backup knot, clip it in, and release the old one as you feel the need to. Ascend the rope by using the terrain and pulling slack through as you go. ![]() Unclip your original third hand if it's still below the deviceģ. Clip the guide mode hole to the belay loop. If you didn't extend you're going to need to check you have a catastrophe knot, move your third hand (or use a second one/alpine sling) above the ATC and put a sling on it, step on the sling to unload the ATC. Clip your ATC to your belay loop through the guide hole. Both ropes as overhands on a bight with a locker to your belay loop.Ģ. Tie a catastrophe knot below your third hand. I extend now if it's a route that I'm not familiar with, I might have to ascend, if I'm saddlebagging the rope (don't hit other parties, wind, features to avoid having the rope get stuck in), or if it's windy.ġ. This is all easier if you extend the belay device. Haven't had to do it much but I've gotten better each time that I have.Ġ. ![]()
