Several rappelling techniques may be used; only the body rappel is given here: The climber should face the rappel point and straddle the doubled rope. From the rappel point the rope goes between the legs, under the left buttock, up and in front of the left hip, across in front of the chest, over the right shoulder, and across the back to the left, or braking hand. The right hand grasps the rope running to the rappel point at about shoulder height. It is used only to steady the body and hold it in the desired position. Trying to support the weight with the right hand will result in a rope burn. The left hand can be held to the rear wherever comfortable, so long as the arm is nearly straight. Friction can be increased if the hand is moved forward, reduced if moved backward. Control of speed will be learned more easily, however, if the hand itself is used as a brake. The climber then leans away from the rock just far enough for his feet to hold, with his weight supported by the rope, and descends slowly, leading with the left leg to make certain that the rope stays in place. He soon learns to rappel in longer and longer bounds, and to use insulation against heat on the shoulder and under the buttock.
