Fast and easy loading, the Black Diamond Super 8 belay/rappel device uses a unique design that eliminates excess material by thinning out the non-rope bearing areas. Here’s a better way: The first climber raps and clips in direct to the anchor; she feeds out 5–10 feet of slack through her rap device, leaving the device on the rope. Call out “on belay” to ensure the belayer is ready with the rope in case you fall. are all inherently dangerous activities. Resist this “quick out.” Instead take the time to find the correct anchors. My wife Katherine and I write articles on this site to share the knowledge we’ve acquired and practiced over the years. When I’ve had to set up a knot block in the past, I use the figure 8 knot. With the rope going into your rappel device and then to your harness- don’t forget to lock your carabiner- put your hands into the ready position. Pros: Variations of rope diameter and rope conditions can be used with a rappel rack. To connect two ropes for rapping, we recommend the flat overhand. To increase your descent, smoothly move your braking hand up at an angle to your body until you feel the rope is moving at a good speed you can still control. Meanwhile, the “bottom” climber (first to rap) sets up her rappel on the brake-hand strands just below the top climber.

Every so often, pull slack through your device, which now serves only to back up the prusiks. To test, weight the hitch while still clipped in.

Keep your back straight and move your legs down the cliff one at a time while you feed the rope through. In most cases, you will execute what is called a Fireman’s Belay. {"isPro":"NON-PRO","registered":false,"customerID":"bcNHjaonyBAJYIDExVSDfmSJxa","email":"","cookiesAccepted":false}, Free Economy Shipping On Orders Over $50, Exclusions apply, Free 2-day Shipping On Orders Over +$250, Exclusions apply, Cannot be used with oversized items or skis, https://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BlackDiamond-Site/en_US/Cart-Show, {"products":[{"id":"BD620072_cfg","name":"Super 8 Belay/Rappel Device","variant":"BD620072YELOALL1","price":"15.95","brand":"Black Diamond Equipment","category":"Climb / Belay / Rappel"}],"tagManagerID":"GTM-NHCGF2S","currency":"USD","siteID":"BlackDiamond","resouces":{"logUrl":"/on/demandware.store/Sites-BlackDiamond-Site/en_US/GoogleAnalytics-Log"}}, LOVE THE LAND, MAKE A PLAN.

Super 8 Belay/Rappel Device - Yellow Quantity-+ Overview READ MORE The classic figure-8 device for smooth rappels and belays. Dress it and snug it to the first overhand. I’m Jake Harmer and this is the place I go when I’m not in the mountains/deserts (or tethered to my cubicle). Dress the prusik and lock your biner.

Fold it over on itself and clip the other end of the sling into your belay loop with a locker. The rope, harness, and rappel device protect the rappeler against a fall. The belayer should watch out for falling rocks or gear! Is there loose rock? If you rapped past your station, your rope got stuck, or you’re dangling in space, you’ll need to ascend the rope. Clearly parties have descended this way, which has misled us to use these anchors, and soon we're in sketchville. In fact, most climbing deaths happen during rappels. They can be used for both belaying and rappelling.
