Join us for a discussion with Cyril Shokoples, ACMG IFMGA Mountain Guide, to discuss rappel and lowering accidents. Every year numerous people are injured, and on average 2-3 people are killed in North America, while rappelling or being lowered on sport routes. This presentation will focus on how this has happened, the evolving nature of these accidents over the years and importantly, how to prevent them from happening.
