The Gear Used In Artificial Highlines and Two Tension Rope Systems

Ultimate – the best achievable or imaginable of its kind. Can we have The Ultimate Gear List for anything?  Probably not, but we can put some thought into what that might look like. Before we get to the list, let us outline where this gear cache came from. In building this course with Jason Ilowite …

Two Tension Rope Systems: The Time Has Come

Two Tension Rope Systems Background: As a rescue community, it is accepted as best practice to employ a two-rope system in order to best protect life safety. Most traditionally up to this point the dedicated main dedicated belay (DMDB) has been common practice. This employs a technique in which the full amount of the load …
