Rappelling!





Hey there Internet,
It's been a while and I have been posting my W.O.D.'s to crossfit.com instead of here. School classes are done, now the hard part of finding a job begins.
On one of our last days of class we had instructors Matt Parkhurst and Rob Lloyd of the Peterborough Fire Department show us/teach us rappelling. We went down backwards in a rescue situation rappel (I used a rope wrapped/tied around me called a Swedish seat) then for fun we walked down the side of the building face first, called an Aussie rappel. Which is only used by SWAT or the military, leaves a hand free to shoot your gun for fighting, not for fun. I haven't had a rush of adrenaline like it since I skied Sudan Couloir at Blackcomb about 10 years ago. Enjoy and I recommend anyone to try it out! (Rob and Matt teach high angle rescue for Herschel rescue, sign up for a course. I hope they give me break on fee entry now that I have posted to a million or so readers.)

I know that little Tower, that's at the Fire Training grounds in Norwood. I instructed a course there not to long ago on Rope Rescue.
