Home workshops are included to show you how to assemble your own ascending and descending gear. This book covers everything you need to know about the techniques and equipment needed for vertical work -- including ropes, knots, rigging, harnesses, rappelling, ascending, and belaying -- as well as a detailed program for training and practicing ropework skills.Equally significant to both the beginner and the experienced user of vertical rope techniques, this new edition is completely updated and expanded to include other users such as arborists, river rescue, window cleaners, and circus riggers among others.
