It seems a bit complicated. But let me explain
I am going on a trekking trip which I will be coming down an approx 80 to 100 foot cliff.
The thing is that I will not be climbing back up. This is just a belay and then I will keep trekking to destination.
What I was gonna do is this: use a couple of trees as anchors to attach tubular webbing to them and have an O RING passing through the webbing. ( by the way I use O rings because I am not recuperating the Tubular weebbing and the rings. this Way Im not leaving behind some expensive carabiners.
once I have prepared the anchors. I would attach my harness with a figure 8 and then pass the other end of the rope through the O ring and then loop the other part of the rope to my locking carabiner and my ATC device for belaying. So the principle is that once I get down. I can retreive my rope and continue my way only leaving behind approx 5$ worth of equipment being the Tubular webbing and the O ring.
IS THIS CORRECT ??? What other way would there be ?
thank you for a quick reply.
Jason
here is a pic of the O RING ,... it can take 17 KN

Agreed with dingus - rappelling is the way to go.
Just take note - if the cliff is 100 feet long, you need at least 200 feet of rope (Using either method).

Im sorry but I think you are mistaken. I am NOT referring to FIXED rope. Thats why I am requesting some info. the link you sumitted is for FIXED ROPES
I know I will be rappelling but I am asking this questiion because once I am at the bottom I want my rope back.

rap on two strands dude. find someone who knows how to do this and will take you out and show you.
i think people just didn't consider that you might be about to huck yourself off of a 100 ft cliff with no idea how to do a standard rap.
yer gonna die, allez.

There is a way to do it on rappel. Try searching, your efforts should help you learn more.

So you are using a fig 8 as well as ATC on the same rope??
Read very carefully.....GO SEEK INSTRUCTION.

It MIGHT take SOME thought ON your PART (when COMPARING the TWO methods) TO come UP with THE method THAT you REALLY want.
AND no, YOU aren't.

THAT is a NEW question NOT the SAME as the OLD ONE. AT least now you WANT to RAPPEL.
So my WORK was NOt in VAIN.
Try that google thing son! use the following letters (cut and paste)
'learn how to rappel'
DMT

Dingus and others were trying to tell you.
Put rope through ring to halfway point.
Put both strands of rope into ATC
Rappel.
Pull rope.
Don't forget to tie knots in the end of the rope and make sure both ends are down on the ground.
You really should get someone knowledgeable to show you before you try this.
Now, please apologize to Dingus. And don't get killed

Nice touch cheesetitting the quote. At least you didn't intentially mispell "rapell." I was getting tired of that gag.

Redundancy!!!!
Equalize your webbing... make your master point redundant... also, use TWO rings!
...and don't learn everything from the intraweb.

What would be the SETUP. FIND INSTRUCTION but it's your life so: pull the rope through the o ring until it is at its halfway mark, two ends dangling down to the ground. tie knots in the ends of the ropes before you throw them so you don't accidentally rap off of one end and fall to an untimely death. use your atc-er, i mean "tube-style belay device"-to pull each strand of rope through each individual tube on the two-tube device. place this through a locking biner on your belay loop. rappel. once on the ground, untie the rope ends and pull the rope. http://canyonwiki.com/...ex.php/Rappel_device

DIngus... you're a real tard.... Google it yourself. Rappelling searches are almost all about Fixed ropes.
The only one who answered properly is limeydave.

Dingus has forgotten more than you are likely to ever know.
Quit being a tard - he's well respected around these parts.
Take the advice, and quit being tosser or it'll be the last piece of advice you get from any of us...
