Description

As the ACC’s most recent newsletter points out, Petzl has a bunch of great descriptions of knots, hitches, anchors, haul systems, etc. online. As I find rope work boring on my own, I propose that we practise it together.

This session will be focussed on the following techniques:
– roping in with the kiwi coil
– setting up a 3:1 Z pulley haul system
– setting up a 2:1 drop loop system
– setting up a 6:1 drop loop system

We can also address other techniques of rope management, crevasse rescues, and mountaineering in general as suits participants’ wishes.
