Abstract
In a rappelling device () for braking a load guided on a cable which can be fixed to the rappelling device (), the cable () is friction-guided over a distance () and the cable () which runs through the rappelling device () is guided over a brakable shaft (). The cable () is pressed onto the brakable shaft () by means of a pre-definable pressing force (). The braking elements for the brakable shaft () can be kept small in weight and design because an additional braking of the cable () takes place over the friction-guided distance in the rappelling device ().
