I suppose that's one way of using a rappel ring, more of an "emergency situation" application. Why not just use your belay device to rappel down since that's not what a rappel ring is designed for?
I am just trying to show what can be done if you are in a jam, if I was stuck with nothing, I would just use the tried and true method they taught us in the Army, one carabiner, carabiner wrap rappel, works great if you know how to do it.
What was a rappel ring designed for? Genuinely curious. I know they’re used for countless other applications however assumed they were initially designed for rappelling in an emergency situation (such as dropping your atc, etc.).
@@nicod1886 It was designed to a leave-behind piece of emergency equipment. If for some reason you needed to rappel off a route and didn't have any reliable rappel points you have a few options: quickdraw (expensive), a sling and a carabiner (still expensive, though not as much), or you can thread a rappel ring onto a sling (sling+ring =
@@eagle191 Ah now that makes sense to me, appreciate the knowledge my friend. Yes, many options incase one were to drop their belay device. A simple biner with a munter being one of the minimalistic options. Thanks for the response and stay safe!
@@nicod1886 No worries. Note that you'll have a rope that looks more like a telephone core when you're finished rappelling on that munter hitch...but hey, in a pinch.
Easy to understand the component setup, but no explanation of which end of the rope goes up or dow, and none about if the biner gets attached to anything. 🧐😲
the biner gets attached to your harness and the loop of rope goes around it as the video shows, up or down does not matter since either direction works the same as far as friction.
Actually if you look closely, the rope going above the top of the biner would go to your anchor point, the rope going in the direction of the bottom of the biner goes to the brake hand, hope this helps.
Staight to the point and simple to understand... Thanks
Canyon CI-V rope work for this setup? Also, what rappel ring would you recommend? Thank you sir.
What maker of rappelling ring do you recommend? Strength in KN?
Titanium or forged stainless is the strongest. Just don’t get rolled aluminum.
@@bronsonstephens5799 I have a few rolled aluminum rings. They are quite pathetic. Where can I purchase the titanium or forged stainless rings? Thanks
@@gerrycoleman7290 I actually just watched a video on this. Maybe they can help (:
