Overview

“Climb back” is an essential technique to deal with “what if” while rappelling.
No matter how careful you are, troubles such as descending to the wrong place, the length of the rope not being long enough while suspending in the air, etc., may occur no matter how careful you are. It will happen.
In such cases, you will need techniques to climb back up.
If you can hold the rock with your hands or feet, you can climb back up with some ease by climbing.

This course will teach you how to climb back up in such a situation.
