Description:
This is a field session to practice rappelling techniques at Larison Rock, which has an overhanging section of rock so people can get the experience of a 'free' rappel. The hike to the top of Larison Rock is about 1/2 mile. We will set up a couple of rappel lines and give people a chance to do several free rappels, both single rope and double rope. We will also work through some scenarios that one might encounter in alpine climbing - such as how to assist an injured person who can not rappel on their own, how to set up an autoblock knot to provide a self-belay while rappelling, and what to do if you have to rappel past a knot (for instance, if part of a rope becomes abraded and needs to be tied off). Participants should have some previous experience with rappelling, at least the equivalent of Basic Climb School.
