🧗‍♂️ Can you rappel past a knot with a figure 8? Let’s find out! I tested whether a standard figure-eight descender can handle a rope knot (spoiler: not really). But with a rescue figure 8, it actually works. I am still not a big fan of that device. I tried it with two knots: - Double overhand (my favorite) - Double fisherman’s bend. Only one of them slid through reliably. 🎭 Yes, I’m wearing a mask again. Thoughts? 👇 Let me know your preferred knot for rope joins and whether you’ve tried rapp

The CEM knot is a death knot if you rappel on the wrong side of the rope. It’s a very good knot to use for a pulldown trip, but you have to pay attention. #caving #competition | Adventuring Light

In this setup, I used a thin tagline to retrieve my main rappel rope – saving weight without sacrificing safety. With only 20–30 m of thick rope and a compact cord, you can still rappel efficiently on full-length drops. Way lighter than using the thick rope doubled up. 🔧 My setup: • Thick line = main rappel rope (compatible with device) • Thin line = retrieval cord • Connection: figure-8 knot double overhand screw link I’m using a Singing Rock Jack descender here – smooth control, even with thi
