Petzl GriGri 2 Belay Device Review
Wet Abseiling: What, Where, How
Abseiling or rappelling is an act that climbers use this technique when a cliff or slope is too steep and/or dangerous to descend without protection. Some equipments are needed in this technique. There are ropes, helmet, carabiner, figure eight device and a harness.
A carabiner is a metal loop with a screwed gate.The loop part opposite the gate is referred to as the spine. It can quickly and reversibly connect components in safety-critical systems.
Figure eight device is most commonly used as a descender.It is an aluminium or occasionally steel, the "8" shaped device allow fast and controlled descent on a rope. They are easy to set up and are effective in dissipating the heat caused by friction.
A harness is system used for connecting the rope to the climber. Most harnesses used in climbing are preconstructed and are worn around the pelvis and hips.
The Gears: carabiner, figure eight device, harness
Imagine million tons of water pouring at you and you need to abseil down from a 15m high waterfall. This is called Wet Abseiling. It is a dangerous activity but with proper equipment and trained guide, it becomes an enjoyable and fun activity. In Malaysia you can find it in Ulu Geruntum Waterfall in Gopeng, Perak and Lata Kijang Waterfall in Tapah, Perak. MyTravelKaki do organize trip to Ulu Geruntum occasionally.
is she ascending or descending ?
the waterfall, 15m high
On 6 Nov 2010, eight (8) of MyTravelKaki's members and friends travel to Ulu Geruntum Fall. To get to the fall, we took a lorry from Gua Tempurung parking area. It takes about 45 minutes. At the site the participants were taught how to use the equipment and a trial run before the real one. Once is ready, everyone hike up to the waterfall and waiting for theirs turn to abseil down.
The Abseiling Team
The Ulu Geruntum Waterfall
I was the one who go 1st. During abseil, your leg must straight and open up with an angle of 90 degree to the fall. This is a correct and comfortable position when you abseil down.
A rubber shoes like Kg. Adidas will give you good grip against the fall. Half way you can even let go your hand holding to the rope in front but DO NOT let go your hand holding the rope at the back. Most of us pose for photo at this stage. Slowly let go the rope bit by bit and walk down the fall. There you are you are abseiling down from a waterfall. Everyone did it 2 or 3 times before we call it off the day.
Again the question "It is Dangerous ?". Yes but with proper equipment and well trained guide you are safe. There are 2 guides, one at the top and another one as a belay guide. The top guide will make sure all the gears are properly fixed to you and an additional safety line hook on to you. The belay guide will make sure you don't swing from left to right and lost control during the descend.

Belay Rappel

the front loop on harnesses?
is it necessary to add your own loop using cord or is it safe just to hook up carabiners to the loop connecting the waist belt and leg loops on a harness and have that loop alone hold your weight while rappelling and belaying?
Everyone that I've ever climbed with ties in directly to the loop in the front of the harness WHEN CLIMBING - it isn't considered safe to a carabiner. When belaying or rap'ing, you use a super strong locking carabiner on the loop in the front of the harness because there is less shock / stress to this connection (body weight only for rap'ing / rope stretch minimizing shock for belaying).
Please learn proper climbing safety and rigging from an instructor or a trusted / experienced mentor.
Good Luck

Static Rope

TOUGHEST ROPE FRICTION PROBLEM I EVER SEEN,PLEASE HELP ME?
A rope is wrapped around a pole of radius R = 3 cm. If the tension on one end of the rope is T = 1000 N, and the coefficient of static friction between the rope and pole is μ = 0.2, what is the minimum number of times the rope must be wrapped around the pole so that it doesn’t slip off?
Assume that the minimum number of times the rope must be wrapped around the pole corresponds to a tension of 1 N on the other end of the rope.
http://yfrog.com/4jphysicsquestions201p
THERE IS A IMAGE IN THE ABOVE LINK.CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO ENLARGE IT.
I believe U can find the answer here:
http://www.jrre.org/att_frict.pdf
concentrating on the derivation of Capstan Formula = ratio of tensions = e^µB
where µ = 0.2 and B = the radian angle of rope wrap
basically it's on pages # 5 & # 7 of this 16 page paper
the solution it seems to me would be that
µB = ln 1000 {for the above problem}
solving for B (angle of wrap in radians)
B = ln 1000/µ = ln 1000/0.2 = 6.908/0.2 = 34.5
B = 11π radians which on pg 7 (ref paper) would be 5 wraps of rope ANS

| | New England KMIII Static Rope $324 The New England KMIII Static Rope is an exceptional static rope for rappelling, wall development, caving, rescue, fixed-rope applications, hauling and life-safety application.

| | Advanced Base Camp Static Rope $125.04 Our 7/16" static rope is specifically designed to be as tough as the professionals who depend on them. We engineered our ropes after carefully consulting numerous climbers, cavers, and rescue professionals across the nation. The result is what we believe to be the finest selection of static ropes available.From sheath to core, our static lines are entirely constructed out of high tensile polyester. This greatly reduces the potential for stretch or shrinkage while increasing strength, UV resistance, and durability. In addition, the high density sheath is extremely abrasion resistant, increasing the longevity of the rope.We then use Dry Treatment technology, completing the construction process. Using polyester makes these ropes the most water resistant static lines available. Advanced Base Camp Static Response ropes meet or exceed UIAA and NFPA standards. |

Tendon Force Static Rope Cutting Comparision
What is the minimum pulling force that the clown must exert to yank his feet out from under himself?
7.) A circus clown who weighs 905 N. The coefficient of static friction between the clown's feet and the ground is 0.52. He pulls vertically downward on a rope that passes around three pulleys and is tied around his feet. What is the minimum pulling force that the clown must exert to yank his feet out from under himself?
That depends on the angle at which he is standing and the angle of the final section of rope (the section tied to his feet).
If he and the rope are perfectly vertical even as he pulls, his legs will never slid out from under him - he'll just rise vertically.
Oerhaps there was a diagram you failed to include?
