What is rappelling?

A descent from a height, such as a cliff or wall, in which one slides down an anchored rope and applies friction to control one's speed by means of a specialized device. In order to make the activity safe there are three people involved in this activity.

• The person on the top holding your line has control over your descent.




• You have a control over the speed of descent.




• The person waiting below
