I now use a petzl harness, and an ATC belay device when going about it. All of these methods are definitely fine but for safety sake spend the money and get the right gear. Also, for comfort sake, remember that your break is not your hand, no matter how hard you squeeze you wont slow down, it's all in the position of your hand as a guide, If you squeeze, you'll just end up rope burning which could turn into worse, like letting go of the rope. First time through, take it nice and slow, get a feel for it, once you get the feel, speed it up. cowtownclimber  Location: Fort Worth Gender: Male e^(i*Pi)+1=0  |  Re: Rappeling...How hard/expensive is it? <Reply # 41 on 11/26/2010 4:07 PM >   Posted by yokes What about autoerotic asphyxiation? (not that I would know about such thACKKKK.. things.) That's only dangerous if you forget your lemon wedge. UER Forum > Archived Rookie Forum > Rappeling...How hard/expensive is it?
