Retrievable Webbing

[blowfishvodka]

Hey Guys -

I am brand new to canyoneering and was hoping someone could help me.

I was watching this video from BogleyFest in Moab:

On the 2nd rappel, the team uses a very long piece of maroon webbing around a rock archway, and it appears to be retrievable. It looks like they used a rapid link and a biner up top.

Can anyone explain how they retrieved this webbing?

Much Appreciated.

I did not watch the video, but this is a good place to start for some great information:

Welcome to Bogley.

I assume you mean the retrievable anchor at the 5:40 minute mark?

That is Moab Mark's work. It's explained here:

I think its the coolest of all the retrievable anchor methods I've seen used to date.

And I'm locking this thread to keep all discussion of this method in one place.
