5 rappel rope retrieval techniques

After many requests to show how to retrieve your rope after rappelling, I have 5 suggestions. Let me know what you think. You might search "how to retrieve rappelling rope", "rappel rope retrieval", "rappelling for beginners rope retrieval", or "rappelling basics rope retrieval" although there are few videos addressing this exact topic. Happy rappelling.
