Generally when you rappel during a rock climb you are being lowered from your volar.

Once our climber reaches the top and they are ready to rappel, they're going to sit back in their rappel seat and I'm just going to start to begin to lower them down all the way to the ground. Once your climber is lowered, the rappel is over. Again I can't stress enough how important it is to get the proper instruction on how this works. This has been rappelling while rock climbing."
