Video: Urban Hook Anchor for Rappelling

I decided once again to create something about the Petzl AP Hook, which is used in the EXO rescue system. The hook is designed for emergency evacuation from a burning building. I have repurposed it and will show one way to use the hook to anchor onto edges inside a building in order to rappel from it. For additional safety, you can also connect multiple hooks and place them on different openings, window frames, etc. However, this is a technique that you should never use as a standard method! Whenever possible, it is better to build a proper door anchor or place a loop around a solid structure.
Hooks used as anchor points are in most cases significantly less safe than traditional anchor setups!

The AP Hook is the main load-bearing element, and with a skyhook and thick shock cord I create an elastic Prusik to keep the AP Hook under tension, preventing it from slipping off when the rope is unloaded or moves.
