Indirect rope cutting on single
How to cut rope in single in emergency to rescue a victim - In this lesson, learn how to safely lower a person stuck on a fixed rope using the indirect rope cutting technique. This involves a rescuer using an HMS carabiner, an intervention rope, a hand ascender, and a knife. By securing the rescuer to a belay, the technique tightens the rope before cutting, minimizing shock to the main rope. After cutting, the victim is lowered safely while maintaining visual contact. This method is ideal for canyoning rescues where tension recovery is not a priority. This lesson offers practical, high-impact knowledge for dynamic outdoor enthusiasts seeking cutting-edge techniques.
