DIFFERENT ANCHORS FOR RAPPELLING | HOW TO XV

There are two types of rappels in the mountains - those you anticipate and those you don’t! In this episode I look at both types; those you need for emergency purposes, as well as different every day anchor points and the equipment you will need / use. As always, this is a brief over view to give you an idea, which I will hope will encourage you to go out and learn more so that you are safer in the mountains… but also so that you can discover some more adventures that you might not have thought possible before. Have fun out there and stay safe.
