Does anyone around here have any rappelling experience? I'm looking into rappelling into a cave where I'll have to climb back up the rope to get out. I'm thinking about just using my SRT set up. I can't think of anything wrong with that in this situation. Also, I've seen people place carpet underneath the rope to avoid cutting the rooe into the rocky edge. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

The book On Rope details tons of anchor setups and edge/lip navigation strategies.
It's a good read, even has a little arbo section.
Be careful brother.

Lots of good info out there but you should really do that with an experienced partner. There is alot of stuff that is relevant to tree work but but only if you are used to working in the dark, in the cold, and usually wet environment.
I've heard about it before. Sounds like a good resource. thanks man.

That book would be my first step. Definitely bring along someone else. Even if they are just there as insurance.

Google "TAG", "cavechat.org" or "National Speleological Society" and find yourself a grotto to visit and join. Much fun, but it's not a sport to tackle solo. Good new is, you're in a great location for caving!
