Ok. Some of y’all commented on my safeguard post. Thank you. In the quest for a simpler and more idiot proof method of rappelling, I made the trip to REI and bought a black diamond figure 8, atc, a sterling hollowblock, and some 7mm cord. Is one of these devices simpler/more user friendly than the other? I think I saw a video where the guy stays clipped into his atc even at hunting height? I also liked the video of a figure 8 and using soft/hard locks.
Either way, what is the easiest/user friendly method between the two? How are you setting up the autoblock? I’m new to rappelling and still a novice saddle hunter and all of a sudden feel overwhelmed with climbing nomenclature. Any tips would be helpful.
