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.
How to set up a retrievable handline without intermediate anchor points using a self-lowering system
Lesson Summary: Rigging a Handline with Intermediate Points Belayed by a Teammate This lesson teaches how to rig and progress along a handline while being belayed by a teammate—ideal for exposed or technical traverses requiring both hands free. You will learn how to set double-rope anchors, install secure intermediate points, manage rope tension, and communicate efficiently with your teammate. Step by step, the lesson shows how to move safely from point to point: clipping, tying and untying figure-8 knots, adjusting slack, and preparing the system for the canyoneer Expert to finalize. Mastering these techniques ensures smooth progression, controlled protection, and safe team movement in challenging canyon terrain.
