Voted 10/10 | 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!!! | | Posted Jan 20, 2009 8:12 pm |

Voted 10/10 | It's a cool way to say rappel. It's german in origin. | | Posted Jan 20, 2009 8:36 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Hey, thanks SLinehan! I was thinking "rappel."
Yes, now I need to study my German. | | Posted Jan 20, 2009 9:33 pm |

Hasn't voted | In the picture it looks as though the climber is being lowered off, not rappelling. Looks like fun in any case :) | | Posted Jan 21, 2009 12:00 pm |

Voted 10/10 | There seems to be a dire breakdown in world
communications. Thank God for this computer
sitting in front of me!
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" ... : )))))

Voted 10/10 | 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. | | Posted Jan 22, 2009 5:31 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Larry - Maybe you should be teaching these guys your method. :-) | | Posted Jan 22, 2009 5:54 pm |

Voted 10/10 | 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. | | Posted Jan 22, 2009 6:08 pm |

Hasn't voted | uffff Larry..maybe next time I will just write "climbing or coming down";)))) | | Posted Jan 27, 2009 1:10 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Yes, but I think you picked up the "popularity vote" on this one, which is
very good. Have a nice climb, Ivona! : )))) | | Posted Jan 27, 2009 7:16 pm |
