You attach yourself to the hangers, untie, and run your rope through them, then attach yourself to the rope again. Maybe you should have someone show you before you try this by yourself.

lets try not to flame noobs in the beginner forum. a rap ring is attached to the anchor. It preserves the anchor and is easy on your rope. thread your rope through the rap ring and rap down.

In reply to: In reply to: lets try not to flame noobs in the beginner forum. a rap ring is attached to the anchor. It preserves the anchor and is easy on your rope. thread your rope through the rap ring and rap down. 1) The person says they "know alot about climbing" that invites any sort of beating they may get short deadly force. 2) Humour (properly marked as adult content is not flaming. 3) Its a flame and its the first time I have seen anyone "with the modiator" step forward, Did Puitin from Russia take over ?
i know, i know, but usually in the beginner forum, we try to take it easier on noobs, beginners, etc. I am just echoing what has been said in the past..........and by other mods too. just a friendly suggestion......carry on.

i like to use them when i climb something hard that i dont want to climb again and my partner is'nt experianced enough to rig the rap anchor so i just set everything up like i'm going to leave it and use the rap ring as my ropes point of contact so as to not burn through the webbing, then back up everything with a second anchor and leave only 1 or 2 inch's of slack so if something breaks in the leaver anchor the second holds and the partner then only has to worry about pulling gear not untieing and retieing droping the rope or any other miss haps.

The ring stays on the rappel anchor. It does not go on your harness.

You could, it's probably what was in the noob's mind, but it not what it was made for. Lets not make him even more confused.
Rap ring were made so you place it on your anchor point, pass the rope through it and rapel from it.
Some bolts come with the ring. Some rings are sold individually, these need a sling.
Simple example: Rapel from a TREE. Run a sling through the ring, tie the sling around the tree. Pass your rope through the ring. Rapel. Yes, you leave your ring there, forever...
now another thread making fun of the guy who used in his harness
