Just wanted to say saw you at Sandrock November 2023 and interacted with you briefly while you were looking for an injured climber, it was cool to see you in person of course had no time for meet in greet as there were more important matters at hand but it was very inspiring seeing you asking where they were and being to the point and there to help. My buddies and I were behind knob wall climbing “somethingness” (stem climb) when you asked me if I knew where the injured climber was. The crag was lucky to have you there that day! Thanks for the inspiration to beginning my long journey in the freedom of the hills…

Oh awesome! I remember talking to you all. Hopefully we will see you in the mountains again soon!

Great video! We use the Clutch, ASAP and larger pulleys whenever we can. But this lightweight set-up is a great option when you can’t work out of the truck or UTV’s. Would love to see a video from you on anchors. Webbing vs. rope and type of knots, etc. You have a very good and detailed presentation style. Thanks!

The heavier stuff definitely has more efficiency built in when you can just grab stuff out of the truck. We use the same when off the side of the road. I do thing rope can be more efficient in most applications for anchor building with desperate components. However webbing still has lots of application!

Love that you are using VTs :) I switched to using them in place of prusiks for a ton of applications and really think that should be an update to the standard for high angle SAR teams.

Definitely! The teams around here that I work for it is now a standard kit.

Such a useful system!!

This is great! We have been training on this technique recently on our SAR team. One thing we have been doing: Move the pulley to the same carabiner as the DCD, it will nest within the retention loop, then you don't need to drop the DCD when you change to raise, just remove the ropes from the braking redirect and build your MA. I can send a photo if you're interested.

@@adivladi we carry the reverso on our rescue team. They are more versatile of a belay device albeit slightly heavier.

Which ropes are you using there?

Here we are just using BlueWater 9.5 mm I believe. I have used it on 8mm to 11mm.

The karabiner are wrong cliped to the Tiblocs! RTFM ;-)
