Rap vs. Lower

[Toad]

Oh yeah...about the dark matter....

Isn't that what happens the morning after one takes Pepto Bismol?

[gripster]

why are we arguing about this anyways?

[Toad]

I'm not arguing. I'm saying there's a time and a place and a reason for each. I think.

[gripster]

rhunt has the best point so far, do what ever you want, as long as you can do it without freaking hurting yourself.

rappelling is the only time when you are completely reliant on the system. there is no backup if the anchor (in all unlikelihood) fails.

How is this different from being lowered?

toad, you are right. i didn't write correctly. descending is when you are reliant on the system, not rappelling specifically.
