Any of yins guys heard of doing this?
I never have.
I’ve been doing it for over a month. I think I invented it?
It’s legit. It works great!
I saw Nice Guy Dave from Wesspur do sumthin’ like this but my way is waayyy easier...
Just rig yourself up to descend, then take your tag end and wrap it up around and behind the top of the 8 and pull down to snap it in.
That is part 1, just a 'soft lock'. Then to be able to grab your one-stick (hands free)on the way down you just do one more wrap like the first one... It will hold you right there!
After I grab my stick I can unsnap the 2nd ‘wrap’ and descend as fast or slow as I want.
I wish I knew how to put a video on the computer. Some of you guys might like this?
I have four different rappel ropes and three different Figure 8s and each combination is a little bit different than the other.
My favorite feel/speed is with 8mm Rescue-Tech and a Black Diamond Figure 8.
I got some more pictures of this.
Stay tuned...
