This is a very simple way to pass knots with a casualty.IRATA Level 3 Training

Which method was your preferred one?

I need to try this technique. Thx for sharing. Good stuff

Honestly I'm fairly ambivalent between this and creating a loop using another device to get the knot out of the way as you have previously demonstrated. Only thing that would make me prefer this is that I don't love leaving a loop being held on something like a basic or a handled descender with teeth to potentially fall on (although you could use a rescucender to form a loop just as easily as a basic etc.) Personally I lean towards always having a Grillon or similar with a suitable rope grab on my harness anyway and tend to prefer techniques using it to keep things simple in my head: - rescue from chest ascender = grillon + rope grab for counterbalance - passing knots with casualty = grillon + rope grab - passing double deviation = grillon into anchor - even aid climbing = grillon as short connection to make rescue simple (the training centre I go to insists on this as part of there rescue plan incidentally) . Maybe I like using a Grillon too much but then I always carry one now. I can see an argument that we should be training with cows tails etc. as that is what a lot of companies still use but realistically I haven't had them on my harness since progress adjusts came out and things like vertical aid climbing are just plain less risky using an Absorbica as your bottom connection to reduce the impact forces.

My preferred one is just moving one of the knots up and doing a rope to rope. Creating a re-anchor with a rope clamp is my least favorite though but definetely works too The Grillon is almost an essential piece of kit for a modern rope tech. Very functional and makes our life a lot easier and safer I am a big fan👍🏼👍🏼

Good evening. I always look forward to new videos from you. thank you very much. I've already read up a few things and one question keeps popping up: Is a chest ascender or hand ascender a half or full contact point. loaded chest ascender whole point, seen a lot? Regardless, I think the (rescucender from petzl) is one of the most stable rope clamps, as I have seen in test videos, where at over 1200kg the clamp does not break but the rope does.

[@TheRopeAccessChannel]

I would say that when static and loaded either one can be a full point. When in motion we want a rope clamp above it in case the maillon in the croll blocks the cam from engaging. Now you only go down a bit into the cowstail in the top rope clamp. I love the rescuesender!!

This method does not work on long ropes.

[@TheRopeAccessChannel]

That would depend on the length of you Grillon now wouldn’t it. And if that is too short I have at least two other videos out that will work on long ropes

[@Oleksandr.Fedetsov]

@@TheRopeAccessChannel try to do it with long ropes. Choose any of the methods you suggested.

[@TheRopeAccessChannel]

@@Oleksandr.Fedetsov how long are you thinking? The one where you move one knot up and change ropes will work for sure. Do you doubt that one? Just pull up the rope 10 meter and that gives a lot of room to move. Parking the CS underneath can work but is probably challenging. Changing over with CS underneath should work too. Also a bit more challenging. Oh and the other one I have not released yet! Method 5 of this rescue. For me there is not a constraint to leaving gear. I don’t mind leaving it. Cause with longer ropes it might mean you would have to leave a jumar.

[@TheRopeAccessChannel]

@@Oleksandr.Fedetsov but cool challenge man. I’ll have to figure out some way to rig it up. Thanks 👍🏼

[@Oleksandr.Fedetsov]

@@TheRopeAccessChannel Load the backup line - unsafe. Because there is a chance not to guess the stretching length. I like the option with a counterbalance on the main rope, without using the backup line. RIG above the knot and RIG under the knot. I also like the option with a clamp. There is a way, how not to leave the clamp. I will send you a photo if you say where (how). There is also an option with Taz Lov.
