How to Rappel with Three People

Posted on by

Rappelling is by far my least favorite part of climbing.  Not only is it dangerous but it seems to take forever, especially when you are rappelling with three people.  A couple of years ago I took a glacier course with the American Alpine Institute and was lucky enough to have Kurt Hicks as my guide.  I recently found his blog (Alpine Awakening) which featured a skills article on how to quickly rappel with three people.  He knows his stuff and I would highly recommend checking out the article.  How to Rappel with 3 People

About Jon

So I guess I should introduce myself. Hi, my name is Jon and I am a junkie. A climbing junkie to be specific but a junkie none the less.

I enjoy sharing my climbing adventures and I hope you enjoy reading about them. I've put a lot of blood and sweat into getting the photos and stories for this blog and as a result they are the sole property of OnTheSharpEnd.com AKA me but I'm a rather chill guy and if you drop me a line I'm sure we can work something out.

Climb safe.

-Jon

I've been a little slow with the postings. I definitely haven't given up climbing but time is scarce when you're in grad school.
