Aerial Rescue Refresher Training

[@MrStreetboy80]

It’s good to see younger generation have a genuine interest in climbing properly. For a trainee to know what a vt is is pretty good as this is normally something you learn outside of college. I know loads of climbers who don’t bother self learning after doing their course and are still climbing on standard prussik. I climb on distel hitch with a pulley which like vt is really good for tending slack one hand. Point being is if you get in trouble in a tree, the best rescue is self rescue. It’s near impossible to do on a standard prussik if you’ve done an arm in. It’s good practice to one arm rescue yourself, alternating sides. I’m an old climber so can come of a tree pretty fast when needed. Specially when you stumble upon a bees nest 😂 also good practice for self rescue 😆 good luck in the industry, looks like you’ve got interest and that’s a good start 👍

What happened to just putting a prusic on your spliced eye side, putting that on your casualties system and lowering you both down on 1 system?

What is the green rope that the lanyard is made of? It seems to be very soft and handy... Regards
