What totally fucked it for me was one drill weekend years ago.. they had us doing the side without the wall. I was in the middle of getting into the L position when I slipped off the ledge.. probably fell about 5 feet before my belet (sp?) caught me. The guys at the top of the tower said my scream was blood curdling. The next time we had to do the tower (some drill weekend a year or two later), I had a panic attack as I was walking up the stairs. So yeah, I try to avoid rappel towers whenever possible.
