Rappelling Gives Me the “Willies”
Rappelling is my least favorite thing in the world. I’d rather gouge my eye out with a rusty spoon while shopping at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Well, maybe I don’t hate it that bad. I do find it ironic that rappelling is where I get really anxious and nervous. I can lead some runout, loose, hard climb and feel comfortable and in control, but rappel from two bolts at the top and I can get the “willies.”Needless to say, I take rappelling safety pretty seriously, so it was neat to see a thorough and educated treatment of rappelling techniques on the net. Check it out at The Climbing Life. There’s some great tips that everyone can add to their arsenal of climbing skills.
