How to improvise a rappel

Here are a few ways to improvise a rappel. I have shown the piton rappel mostly to see the concepts behind improvised rappels.

    I think that you should mention that recommended way of using moonter hitch is that you put breaking end of rope on the side of carabiner opposite to lock, to avoid unlocking the screw lock with passing rope. Otherwise I have to say that I really like your content, very informative, clear and straight to the point. Thank you for your work.

    I still don’t know about that piton rappel! But this definitely came out well!

    in reality, with the biner brake method, you can just continue to add on until you run out of biners. A whole chain brake system at that point. The 15 caribiner belay system!

    Great stuff as always. Love the variety of options you present, but you're right about no one carrying pitons anymore. The only way a climber will get one of those is if they pluck it from the wall!

    Thanks Karsten! I have to say, why even bring all those extra carabiners in case I drop my belay device? The super munter is so quick and easy. In fact, is there a reason I can’t or shouldn’t use the super munter as my primary rappel method?

    It is harder to back up. You can do it from above with a VT prussik. The carabiner brakes can be done on an extended rappel. Also you can just use the carabiners off your protection for the extra.

    Bro, I dropped my rappel device, do you have an extra? No. But I do have a piton or five oval carabiners, which would you like?
