Canyon Rope Systems - Rappelling Overview

THIS IS VIDEO 1 OF 10 - See textbook 👉 www.hownot2.com/post/canyon-r...
Here is a free course featuring Brent Roth about different ways to set up rappels through a canyon. This considers ease of rigging, abrasion, ease of rescue and how efficient it is to move people through the canyon.
Episodes 1-5 show the systems,
Episode 6 shows how it can all be done with 1 device,
Episodes 7-8 are friction tests,
Episodes 9-10 are break tests of the hardware and the knot blocks.
All the episodes are in the textbook

    The double rope system is almost exactly what is used in most tree climbing although instead of a belay device we use a prusik with a micro pully below it which can be used for ascending and decending

    Very cool video. This series is going to have a positive impact in the canyoneering communities. Some notes to have in mind.... It is important to recognize that "Ease of rigging" is a subjective category. What is "hard" for some, it may be "easy" for someone else. It is a matter of practice and use. Ease of rigging: Subjective Efficiency: Objective Abrasion: Objective Rig for rescue: Objective It is important to name systems by its names: First system shown: Fixed line Second system shown: Tails-up-toggle I think, there should be another category: Rope recovery risk mitigation This category is really important in areas with natural anchors, or sub-standard bolting practices: Low far back bolts that result in rope-rock abrasion, where the selection of rigging, or the conversion for last person (more aspects of efficiency) is important to avoid getting your rope stuck, get a core shot, or scar the rock.

I am curious as to why you use figure8s to repel rarther than a bobbin style or a Rig/ID. If we wanted a releasable system we would rig Y hang and then use an ID at the top. Very simple and very strong.

    So with class c canyons I've always liked single stand since double strands can tangle in the water flow. Is there a good way to prevent tangling of multiple lines if rapping directly in the flow? Thanks

  • @whitewaterpirate

    @whitewaterpirate

    2 жыл бұрын

    Good question. This is one of the times I would absolutely use a Single Releasable system if the flow is that significant. If I was the last person, I would toss the rope bag with the retriavable strand in it as soon as I can. That way a team mate below can manage that strand and keep it clear of my rappel so I can enjoy the flow without hassle. Savvy?

    I just need a way to say this: there are a few private rope makers in the world now. What if the gear-makers go missing, because they cant get designers to 3D print parts from glue they can get from 3M or DuPont or Michaels. Gotta love that hair-die and belly-ache. One more thing: I'm too old to climb. I'm a musician and dancer who damaged everything I have and just refuse to give up. I've climbed enough things. I just want to see if I have any friends left.

    Double simply means one person using both strands. A Twin system is each strand capable of supporting a person on rappel. A Twin system can be used Double. Its the ol' "a square(Twin) is a rectangle(Double) but a rectangle(Double) is not a square(Twin)" scenario. 🤯

    Question: instead of the anchor going into the wall, why don’t all of these ropes have their anchor able to be lowered? It seems like only the last 2 examples do this. Question 2: the ability to rescue off the main rope is good and all but why wouldn’t you just always have a separate retrievable rescue line ready to go in every case? Is it too time consuming? I thought this was mandatory practice. Question 3: why are none of these systems rated with the ability of the climber to descend wearing their own rope bag with the tail inside? I understand some really don’t apply this way but is it too far out of the scope of this video? There seem to be benefits to this especially if you are moving laterally and can’t afford your tail to be dragged across the bottom and maybe get pinched in between a rock or something out of sight way below you. I’ve also seen ropes accidentally get half hitched around roots or branches by themselves. Question 4: Why not rate the rope systems showcasing which ropes can be ascended back up on in case a rescuer cannot lower you? One of the main advantages of being the only climber on your line is that you can use the hip thrust or leg lock technique if you dropped your foot/knee ascender or forgot to pack it down with you. And even if you brought the ascender with you you still really ought to have an artificial friction bend as well which can’t really be used with multiple climbers in the line.

    Wow. Great stuff as usual, but I started tearing out hair and yelling at the screen when you got to the... double static(?)... the standard climber set-up. Rescue? Haven't you guys heard of down-prussiking? Prussiking is the go-to method for climber rescue anyway, since climbers often operate in pairs. Also - of course you can send two people down at once - climbers do this all the time, even with weight differences.

    The first twin system he showed seems easy but man a lot of those systems are just over complicated. Why wouldnt you just figure eight the middle clip it to the belay point. They you have a twin system for speed and once done id just do a traditional rappell and pull the rope down.

    Because you can't release the rope if someone gets stuck on rappel in the middle of a water fall and unless you pre-threaded the rope through the rappel rings, you would have to pull the entire rope back up to reset it. Also, many times in a canyon you are only rappelling 10-20%% of the length of the rope and you don't want to pull the entire thing out.
