Climbing Tools: Crevasse Rescue Exercise

Описание: Now available anywhere with the new apple podcast app for the iphone and ipad. Just search climbing tools while at the gym.

Avoiding the void! This is a simple load transfer exercise. In the confusing world of crevasse rescue it can all be a bit much. This simple exercise is 4/5 of the crevasse or rock raise system.
Back in the day when I used to teach this stuff I found that students could grasp this easily. Little did they know that they were really learning the crevasse rescue system.
This is a exercise remember. You really wouldn't want suspend a real person off just one prussik. Rather you would have a back up of some sort. This video assumes that you know the Munter hitch and how to tie it off. The prussik knot is also used. I have inserted links to videos teaching those hitches in the video.
