<p>Tina White approaching a typical rebelay from below in Kaninchenh&ouml;hle.
Note that there is too little slack in the rope above the rebelay, though there
is no doubt that a lot will appear once the rope is loaded.
<p>This is something
to watch out for on the descent: when the slack disappears as the upper rope
is unloaded, it is possible to find that you can't remove your descender from
the rope without attaching an ascender to re-load it.</p>
<p>This is an mild example of an unnecesarily acrobatic rig which should be re-done on any route with heavy traffic.
