Looking for some ideas on a quick rappel from palm trees.
My old boss used to just tie one end of the rope off with a clove hitch to his harness, and then hold for dear life on the standing end with his hands while tending the rope himself while rappeling. Probably one of the sketchiest things I've ever seen.
But I'm looking to employ a similar method, tie one end off with an anchor hitch to my harness, and use something like a figure 8, or munter hitch , etc to tend the standing end of rope while rappeling.
Whatever it is, it just needs to be smooth and consistent cause if you sit on the palm trees too much or apply too much force, the rope gets jammed in the fronds.
Thanks in advance
