I wanted to get suave with using a single rope + tagline for rappels so I don't have to carry 2 ropes up BBB at Pierces Pass and had a few questions.
I know that the rappel descent in that particular instance is off chains, but in other circumstances like abseiling from trees or slings, will a pull-line setup with a biner-block still work? Or would it only be ideal off rings? Just running the idea through my head, I can't think of any safety problems with rigging around a tree, but I can imagine it being harder to pull the rope due to friction... |
