Traverse line rescue

Latest Comments

Traverse line rescue (a method): With a casualty hanging from their cows-tails take a spare rope and tie it in directly top the casualties harness (keep the knot as small as possible to make the most out of your haul in a bit). Run the haul line through a pulley clipped the the rope loop of the traverse line nearest the casualty (clip to the rope not the krab or bolt so the pulley can rotate in use). Within communication and eyesight of the casualty set up a 3:1 haul system (e.g. rope through a STOP, pulley and jammer) attached to the rope loop of the traverse line. Haul to lift the casualty to the anchor, move their cows-tails, then lower the casualty onto the next section of the traverse line. Continue this until the casualty is somewhere where they can be lowered or hauled off the pitch.
