Please forgive me ...I have a question. What does this word "abseiling" mean? It means that the climber
is descending, right???
Nice picture - I love all of your pictures!!!

Re: Please forgive me ...It's a cool way to say rappel. It's german in origin.

Re: Please forgive me ...Hey, thanks SLinehan! I was thinking "rappel."
Yes, now I need to study my German.

Re: Please forgive me ...In the picture it looks as though the climber is being lowered off, not rappelling. Looks like fun in any case :)

I'll GOOGLE the word 'abseiling,' and see what turns up or down.
All resistance is futile. The only thing I'm
absolutely sure of is:
"What goes up, must come down" ... : )))))

Re: Please forgive me ...Instead of googling, try picking up a copy of John Long's book How to Rock Climb .. you never know, you might just enjoy it ;)

Re: Please forgive me ...Any sport (or hobby) that involves wearing
helmets, boots, gloves, elbow pads and knee
pads has to have an inherent danger involved.
A person would definitely have to know what
they were doing when abseiling from a waterfall. You could really hurt yourself out
there. : O
Of course, you could also be hurt by getting
run over by a beer truck.

Re: Please forgive me ...Free your mind Larry, like a butterfly :)

Re: Please forgive me ...Geez, how do I always get stuck in these
debates that seem to last forever and ever???
I'm a proponent of the "butterfly method."
It's where you float over rocks and waterfalls without ropes, and it's all done by mind control.
It would be a very BORING world (universe) if everybody had the exact SAME method of doing things.

Re: Ivona ....Yes, but I think you picked up the "popularity vote" on this one, which is
very good. Have a nice climb, Ivona! : ))))
