what aerial practice is best

[likeitorlumpit]

Basically I'm curious how people practice aerial rescue. I know it is a rare thing but I would like to fit time in occasionally to keep everyone fresh.

We'v made a consious decision to do a practise session of this all methods of rescue its so easy to forget otherwise.

I last practiced this too many years ago when everyone on the course was using DRT and prussik.

Now that we have hitch climbers, wrenches, zigzags, etc, if i ever had to rescue I may lose valuable seconds figuring out what to attach to what.

Guess it's just harness to harness and dis attach the casualty.

 

I would like to practice it at a rec climb this year.

Last time we did it all the climbers went up on what ever they climbed on. And us groundies went up and rescued the climber that we mainly work with.

It was the standard basic rescue in regards that the climbers line was undamaged and could be lowered on it.

we practice various methods every few months.

All potential rescuers should be familiar with what system the climber is operating. If your doing proper risk assesments it should be in your rescue briefing.

we practise but generaly in our own time on rec climbs
