English

Subject field(s)
  • Mountain Sports
DEF

A loop of ... rope, either carried as a runner or tied through a nut or other protection or aid device.

CONT

The rappel rope must be run down before being tied to safety rope so that it will slide over the top of the sling without pressure and not press the sling against the ledge and bind the lower rope.

CONT

There are a number of special skills more or less incidental to climbing which every competent mountaineer has to be able to handle well. These include descent using a rope ..., climbing a rope using rope slings or mechanical ascenders.

DEF

Cercle de corde fermé par un nœud ou une épissure que l’on pose, en double, autour d’un bec rocheux, d’un bloc coincé ou d’un champignon de glace.

CONT

L’anneau de corde est utilisé comme une sorte de poulie qui permet de faire coulisser une corde de rappel ou une corde d’assurance sans que celles-ci s’usent ou se coincent.

CONT

Les anneaux de corde sont destinés à être passés autour d’un bec rocheux, d’un piton ou d’un mousqueton, pour soutenir la corde de rappel; ces anneaux sont abandonnés sur place après usage. Pour confectionner les anneaux de corde, on utilise une cordelette de 5 ou 6 mm. doublée, qui tient mieux sur une petite saillie qu'une corde simple plus grosse.

Record 3 1992-07-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mountain Sports
DEF

Descent of a precipitous cliff by means of a double rope passed under one thigh, diagonally across the body and over the opposite shoulder.

CONT

There are two things to remember when rappelling. One is to keep the legs well spread in the "sitting" position. This will prevent the body from pirouetting and "slamming" into the wall. The other is to remember that equipment will become hot while descending ....

OBS

"Abseil" comes from German; "ab" meaning down and the verb "seilen" meaning to rope.

OBS

A distinction must be made between rappelling, the verb or action, and rappelling, the technique. Here we are describing the technique.

OBS

The synonyms, context, and above observations were taken from Kudlas, John, "The Rock Climbing Teaching Guide", 1979, p. 50, and Seghers, Conroll II, "The Peak Experience; Hiking and Climbing for Women", 1979, p. 218.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sports de montagne

OBS

Le contexte ci-dessus est tiré de "L’escalade, connaissance et technique", par David Belten, 1987, pae 172.
