Team Scenario: High Angle Two Rope Lower to a Trackline

/ Blog, Dynamic Directional, Elevated Anchor Systems, Highline Rigging, Mainline Systems and Operations, Online Training Education, Twin Tension Rope System

Collaborative Precision: Mastering High-Angle Rescues with Dual Rope Systems   In the intricate dance of technical rescue, team-based scenarios serve as both a challenge and a vital learning opportunity, unfolding in the complex terrain of high-angle environments. This particular operation delves deep into the nuances of executing a two-rope lower that transitions seamlessly into a […]

Streamlining Rescue Operations: Dual AHD Systems for Efficient Trackline Offsets The beauty of using a two tension rope system (TTRS) as the working line(s) is the redundancy and increased safety factor of the system. A single tracking line was used here as we understood the system was well within acceptable safety margins. The patient would

Trackline Skate Block Using Gin Pole/Monopod AHD In a trackline skate block system, the working line is the trackline in that the raise and/or lowering systems are all applied to the same system. Our AHD (we’re using a monopod/gin pole) was placed at the top of the cliff in order to gain the necessary height

Integrating Theory and Practice in Rope Rescue Operations

/ Blog, Elevated Anchor Systems, Highline Rigging, Mainline Systems and Operations, Mechanical Advantage, Portable Anchors

When it comes to rescue operations, understanding the mechanics, force dynamics, and rigging strategies is not just beneficial, but potentially life-saving. A critical component in these operations are the Elevated Anchors, categorized as “edge mitigation tools”. These are essentially horizontal systems designed to raise and then lower, mitigating edge trauma especially in spot situations like

Welcome to a new era in rope access and rescue operations, where innovation meets simplicity. In the world of technical rope work, the challenges of complexity, safety concerns, and limited versatility have met their match. Introducing CAPTO and CLUTCH – a dynamic duo designed to transform the way technicians approach their work. The following is

A FRAME | QUAD BUNDLE HIGHLINE | Horizontal Rigging

/ Blog, Elevated Anchor Systems, Equipment, General Rigging, Highline Rigging, Horizontal Rigging, Mainline Systems and Operations, Pat Rhodes, Prusik Strength and Use

Let’s look at the floating A-frame of our quad system right now. The floating A-frame is being guyed forward and backwards with the prusiks directly connected to the track line system. Okay. So this is our guying system front and back. This is pretty clean right here the way the guys put this together… a

We’ve moved over to the floating A-frame, very much like the floating A-frame that we used for the single track line, but as we said, we’ve added the second track line here. It’s very important that these two track lines be tensioned the same. We would never mix products, for instance. We would never have

We’ve moved ourself down now looking at, the opposite end of the control side. We’re on the gin pole side, the “A” frame being the other side. And, let’s just talk about this real quick. Again, very similar to what we had with the single track line. We have the the twin bundle track line

We’re back here at the lab, and this is a continuation of what we’ve done, the past couple of days with high lines. In quick review, We had, and we built the track line, and we had the control line for our basic high line system. Now what we’ve added to it is a third
