Join us at Uphill Pursuits for a free clinic focused on rappelling efficiency. This clinic will cover methods for rigging rappels, rappelling with different devices, and ways to increase efficiency during a rappel descent, while maintaining a high level of security and avoiding common causes of accidents. No previous experience is required, though some familiarity with climbing equipment and terminology is useful. While we will be covering technical descending techniques, this clinic will take place on the ground.

Required equipment:

• climbing harness

• rappel device (tube style and/or assisted braking)

• “third hand” or prusik cord

• 2-3 locking carabiners

• 1-2 60cm or 120cm sewn slings

This clinic is free for all participants. If you find these programs valuable, please consider becoming an MMA Member, or making a recurring donation to the MMA program. Your support helps keep these programs running.
