Sign Up for Free E-Book Horizontal rigging introduces a different set of problems than a straightforward vertical raise or lower. Once the rescue package has to move away from a primarily vertical path, the relationship between the load, rope, anchors, directionals, and terrain begins to change. Sag becomes important. Span becomes important. Rope angles begin

Technical rescue training does not happen in one format. A rescuer may need a structured lesson one day, a video demonstration the next, and a technical illustration or downloadable reference during a later review. A training officer may need something different altogether: a way to organize concepts, reinforce instruction, support team development, and connect field

Ground Based Lowering Using Petzl IDs in Skate Block Rescues

/ Blog, Offset Track Line

Ground-Based Descent Management in Skate Block Systems Effective ground based lowering and using Petzl IDs in skate block rescues demands not only precision at the top-end rigging but also control and clarity at the base of the system. In a skate block offset, the bottom-side setup plays a pivotal role in managing the descent of
