Kyle uses his right hand to control rate of descent perfectly while his left hand keeps him positioned correctly in the harness. A guide belays us from the bottom. If we lose control they can pull on the rope effectively braking our descent. The actual rappelling is very fun. It is the leaning backwards off a platform 210 feet over a gorge to get started that takes real courage. I think it is safe to say that all three of us got in touch with our inner monkey which for better or worse was not a big leap.
