Pass a deviation

Passing a deviation in canyoning helps avoid friction, prevent direct impact with the waterfall, correct rappel offset, or avoid ending up in the center of a turbulent eddy. When passing the deviation, each team member must secure themselves by locking the descender or by adopting a static position. Then, the deviation is attached to the rope above the descender, and rappelling continues once the static position is unlocked. It is essential to verify the strength of the deviation point before using it to avoid risks of swinging or shock in dangerous areas such as near the waterfall or in turbulent zones. The entire team proceeds in a coordinated manner to ensure safety.
