How is rappelling going?
After 3 days of rappelling, how is the experience as a rappeller, belayer, onlooker? Remember during this unit the expectation is for you to rappel at least 8 times. 2 to 3 times the regular way showing me you understand the technique, 1 or 2 times going upside down and recovering, 2 or 3 times jumping off the wall army style, and 1 or 2 times going down face forward.

rappelling is going great so far. I haven't rappelled yet but i think i might the next time we do it. Its fun to help and watch our group members rappel too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been doing much rappelling since our group can never get the system set up right. :\
ReplyDeleteI think it's going great. My group members are definitely getting better at setting it up. I would say we're giving 90%, but I'm pretty sure we'll reach 100% and above very soon because everyone is starting to get along a bit better. We'll make it work like we always do.
ReplyDeleteI took a glance at other groups,too and i saw a lot of people who knew what they were doing. I think that's awesome! I hope everyone keeps up the good job!
repelling is going good so far, i am still confused though because i was absent the day it was taught

I repelled on friday! When I first got over the ledge it was really scary to lean back! I really had to trust my group and trust that they tied the ropes right. I think over time it will get alittle less stressful.

i love repelling. i was the first one in my group to go because i was so ready. and i actually understand how to set up the system now. its not scarey if you dont think about it.. you just have to go!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It was scary to let go of the railing... but after that it was so much fun. My group is getting better and better at setting up every time.
ReplyDeleteI haven't repelled yet, but I think that my group is getting the hang of setting up all the ropes and webbings and etc. So the next time we repel I think I'll go ahead and try it for myself.

I haven't rappelled yet, but it's cool watching everyone else, and we're finally getting better at setting up.

My group got a lot better than before and were ready to rappelled. It's fun but at the same time tiring. Hopefully we'll get more people to rappelled and get ready faster.
ReplyDeleteHey.
ReplyDeleteMY group is really organized with the ropes. knots, and all the stuff. We are always ready to rappel. But even so i have rappelled just once. But i hope i could do more this week.
It was scary @ first hanging off the edge but u need a lot of trust in urself before u can trust the people in ur group too. Then rappel away!

i think its going to be okay. i havent reppelled yet but i think it wont be too bad.

It's going fine, and once we get over the railing and then lean back...then we're good to go. We just need to trust in what we've put up. But it's fun and I'm excited to go on tuesday!!!
ReplyDeleteKelsey
I haven't repelled yet, but i'm kinda excited to! as long as the ropes are tied properly and my group is awake, I think I'll be ok!! I think it's kinda frustrating though how long it takes us to get going from the gymnastics room sometimes!

Rappelings pretty sweet! Every gorup member is practically working liek a team and nobody's freaking out. Good luck guys!

I really like repelling so far. its fun going down and setting up all the equiptment gives me s sense ofaccomplishment. I'm looking forward to the other stuff, but also sort of scared, going upside down will be weird.
ReplyDeleteI already can't wait to go higher up. I haven't rappelled in a while so I'm a bit rusty. I like our group and I can't wait untill I go.
ReplyDelete^
ReplyDeleteSam Mahonney btw
I haven't rappelled yet, but it seems to be going good and our group is working well together.
ReplyDeleteJulianne Connors
I haven't actually repelled, but being an onlooker has been interesting, and my group is working well and helping each other out a lot with remembering the knots and how to set up and stuff.

i havent been hear on all days to repel :( sorry H :)
ReplyDelete-Danielle
so far I like rapelling. Being the actual rapeller is really scary but all the other jobs are fun. As for rapelling upside down...gooood joke H
ReplyDeleteKristina D'Andrea
so far i like rapelling.it was scary at first,but you have to trust not only yourself but your group too.
ReplyDelete-c.betti
soooo i really like rappeling and i think it's actually a lot of fun. i was a little scared at first but after doing it once i realized it wasnt that bad. setting up seems to be taking less and less time each time we have to do it so we have more time to actually rappell :) im a little nervous to still do all the other types of rappeling though like going upside-down...haha not sure ill be able to do that. my group is doing really well and is very supportive which makes things a lot easier for everyone.
ReplyDeleteNikki Kowalski
i did it twice, and want to do it again. its funnnn :)
ReplyDeleteluckily everyone in my group trusts each other and none of us were dreadfully frightened. makes it easier. im optimistic about all thisss :)

Honestly, i can't remember how things went on the third day of rapelling. however, i can say that during the entire course of the rapelling unit, it brought me so much closer to all the other members of the class-since at first, i wasn't that ready to trust them with my safety. it has always been fun and i loved it!
