About this event

The focus of today will be Knots (Double Fisherman's). Join us for a day of practicing rappelling skills at Cannibal Crag / The Practice Wall to learn new skills or keep existing skills sharp for future adventures. Depending on the existing skillset of the attendees, other topics may be touched on as well. Note: These events are cross-posted with multiple other Meetup groups and [Adventure Frens](https://adventurefrens.com/). RSVPs may get closed early due to the total number of attendees. Skill Levels: Beginner Friendly: Intended for anyone to join, even if you have no rappelling experience. Novice Level: Intended for individuals who have rappelled at least once before and are comfortable getting themselves into their harness and on rappel with some guidance. Intermediate Level: Intended for individuals experienced and confident enough to descend without a belayer when necessary. Participants should be capable of modifying friction on the fly and performing basic problem-solving, such as self-rescue when things go wrong. Advanced Level: Intended for individuals who are comfortable with problem-solving on-rope situations, anchor rigging, and rescue of themselves and others. Understand that the intent of these events is to make people comfortable enough to participate in other events that may involve rappelling. Attending these practice sessions is not intended to create experts. Every organizer you may go out with will have their own rules and requirements for participating with their equipment. Be sure to familiarize yourself with them before attending another organizer's event.
