OK, we're at the stage where we all need to quit talkin' about this - and go TRY it out. That's the whole point of this forum right? Real answers to survival needs ... demand real testing.

So - do we have any volunteers?

Please DO use an extra safety rope when you experiment with unusual rappel techniques. Better still ... have a buddy put you on belay. That way you can totally focus on the rappelling, and your friend can focus on keeping you safe.
