Haul Ass to Haul Systems (Self Rescue)

You must have been to Basic Anchors Training or know how to build anchors to attend this course

Hey everyone,

Tuesday 6:30pm (fb event will be updated with law building room) I’ll be teaching the must-know self rescue skill of haul systems. Please register below. They are important for multi-pitching, canyoning, mountaineering and even kayaking.

NB: This does not qualify you to safely build haul systems or undertake activities mentioned. Merely instructional, get a mentor/someone to take you/official courses, your risks are your own.

I’ve used haul systems

• Rescuing seconds who are injured/unable to climb a certain part (although ideally you shouldn’t bring them up something too hard for them)
• Bringing up a stuck abseiler
• Hauling gear up a climb
• Retrieving stuck ropes

There are more applications including

• kayaking portadge
• crevasse rescue
• tightening tyrolean traverses
• etc. etc.

Based on my experience and ‘Self Rescue’ by David Fasulo I’ll be teaching the

• Ole ‘throw a loop and biner down’ (the best system if within 1/3 rope length, and not in the self rescue book)
• 3 to 1 (Z drag)
• 5 to 1
• 6 to 1

Cheers
Brendan
