3 man belay for ariel rescue

[CupraR]

Hey all,

Recently done my climbing and ariel rescue course. Was fine whilst doing It but have now totally gone blank on how to set up the belay for the 3 man rescue. Could some shed some light on how to set it up please.

Thanks.

I've never heard of the 3 man rescue...Is this new?

I think the OP's referring to a the pole rescue whereby both rescuer and rescuee are lowered off a second tree (typically) by a third person using a Munter hitch through a biner: there should be a failsafe such as a prussik on the lowering line for use by the third person.

I've been teaching it today funny enough.

It's a rescue for if the casualties rope is damaged or not long enough to bring him/her to the ground and there's a third person available on site using another line to lower him/her with a fail safe system incorporated into it.

Feel free to pm me and I'll go through it.

on a pole, or any rescue?

[Riggerbear]

Any rescue if needed, I use with pole rescue and a broadleaf crown rescue. If there is another climbing line or system on site then the rescuer can use this but if not its good to know how to use what they have available.

Basically using the lowering rope then?

Belay rescue on a pole.

 

Climbing rescuer climbs up past the casualty using a second side strop and then installs a inchor point using either a combium saver or sling with 2 carabiners with gates opposite.

 

the climbing rescuer then puts i rope through which he would have carried up with him through the anchor point which he installed and then connected to causality bridge on harness using a bowline with carabiner for example.

 

the groundsman rescuer then sets up the belay system in order to lower the casualty down to the ground by tying the other end of the rescue rope to a neighbouring tree using a running bowline or a timber hitch , he then ties an alpine butterfly loop about 5feet along the rope from where he ties to the neighbouring tree and then ties either uses a prussik loop with prussik knot or a figure 8 descender device and connects that to the alpine butterfly loop using a carabiner. once that is done he waits for for the climbing rescuer to give the signal to take up the slack and load the casualtys weight on the rope.

 

the climbing rescuer then disconnects the climbers side strop and lifts off his spikes and the casualty is safely lowered down to the ground.
