Rappelling is a technique that allows you to descend a vertical wall. Through a harness, a rope and a descender, the person can descend safely, managing to overcome a precipice with relative ease.

We can also say in other words that El Rápel is a technique widely used in sports such as mountaineering, rock climbing, caving, canyoning ... which is used to safely descend a slope from a higher point to a lower point. It consists of a system of descent by a rope by means of a tool that holds the rope and slows its descent, called a descender.

We can find descents of very variable heights (from 3-4m to 50-60m) and they can either be touching the wall during the entire descent, or without holding on to it .
