Scramble Rappel Methods
On some alpine rock climbs, there are stretches of the climb that are either traverses or not vertical but exposed where your leader may set-up a fixed hand line. You will place a prusik on the rope, clipped with a locking carabiner back to your belay loop and travel across the fixed line prusiking yourself along the way.
