A rappelling tool having at least two essentially orthogonal tabs projecting from a ring. The first tab has an aperture by which it is connected to a rappeller's waist belt or seating apparatus carabiner. The second tab, essentially orthogonal to the first is provided for slidably retaining a rope that has been wound about it. The invention allows a threading of a rope thereto without the necessity of disconnecting it from the user. Horn-like projections from the second tab provide the facility for wrapping the rope about the tab, thus securing the rappelling user in a static condition during decent.
