How to Vertical Aid Climb and Short Link Rescue - My IRATA Level 3 Reassessment

Рет қаралды 9,365

Күн бұрын

Back with another video from my IRATA level 3 reassessment at GO ROPES in Poland. In this video I show how to Vertical Aid Climb in a very clean method. My task was to Vertical Aird Climb to a casualty suspended in a short link situation and then perform a Short Link Rescue, lower the casualty to the ground and rig a pull through. Then I had to continue the Aid Climb and come down a Vertical Aid Climb because that was the one thing I had not done yet in the week. Once I arrived at the bottom I retrieved the pull through.
This exercise went very well. Even with rigging the pull through and rope path ahead of installing it.

I would love to visit. As I do my reassessments in december/January that might be a good option in 2 years. Better temperatures than in the north of europe i guess?

Anytime you want to pass, you are welcome, even on holidays. Triantafyllos, Dimitris and me, we will be glad to welcoming you.

I almost want to do an extra reassessment just to have an excuse to visit. I could use some warmer temperatures😂.

would it be better to use the autolock carabiners instead of manual screw lock it seem that to much time is involve undoing and retighten each move?

@TheRopeAccessChannel 8 ай бұрын

Yeah that would make life easier. However being aware and conscious of having to lock them is not necessarily a bad thing. And when I work I am never in a rush anyway😜

@elberttanner6189 8 ай бұрын

On your carabiners, have your ever used coloured electricans tape to indicate 1,2,3, such as red, yellow, green? Just a thought.

@TheRopeAccessChannel 8 ай бұрын

No have not. I am not a fan of these types of methods. I would rather have my students learn the principles of why we do things a certain way. With color schemes in ropes, or numbered carabiners people tend to learn a trick. And when a situation changes or we have to go in another direction, the colours or numbers don't match and that may cause a mistake.

@TechFreddy13 7 ай бұрын

Hey brother. Is there any particular reason you choose a screw lock carabiner on your grillon for your aid climb?

@TheRopeAccessChannel 7 ай бұрын

A very good one! It was the one that was attached to the Grillon when I took it from the board😂😂. So no, no reason at all.

@ccken91 8 ай бұрын

i am wondering if the casualty has 2 points of contact. looks like 2 ropes connect to the same point. will that considered as 1 point? 🤔

@TheRopeAccessChannel 8 ай бұрын

You are correct. Two ropes to one point on the harness. That point on the harness is considered unquestionably reliable, so yes that is ok. It is the same as when you are aid climbing. You have your main point, usually a Grillon and your cowstails are your backups. Everything is connected to your ventrail D-Ring. Also one point on the harness and allowed according to IRATA and many other schemes and industries.

@paulnormandy6247 6 ай бұрын

Would a twist in the rope constitute a fail or were you just being maticuilous?

@TheRopeAccessChannel 6 ай бұрын

Great question! One twist is no problem. Constantly having twists could result in a Minor Discrepancy (three minors is a major and that is a fail). I like to prevent all that if possible. It makes it easier to keep track of what is going on and may prevent issues later on in the process. It also shows that you are meticulous and are aware of what is going on.

Do you have footage of your team exercise? Interested to see you implement actsafe into it. I teach actsafe but I am not a level 3 so would be interesting to see

@TheRopeAccessChannel 8 ай бұрын

Unfortunately no. I was not allowed to film during the actual assessment. The assignment was: -lift dummy (a L2 operating a 3:1) -Crosshaul to new ropes (One Instructor operating the ACX under my "strict" guidances) -Connect dummy to Diagonal Tension Lines (a second L2) rigged next to the top of the ACX CrossHaul -Lower dummy with ACX to floor

@TheRopeAccessChannel fantastic. I actually did a reval few weeks ago and that was very similar to an exercise the level 3s had to plan and execute

@TheRopeAccessChannel 8 ай бұрын

Yea for a L3 it usually end up with something like this to be able to combine many thing at the same time.

@heymofo1981 4 ай бұрын

i am yet to come into a work situation where vertical aid climbing is a thing lol hate it as on the corse is the only time i have to do it

@TheRopeAccessChannel 4 ай бұрын

You are lucky haha, for me it seems that every two or three years or so I get one of those jobs. I dont mind. I like it. It reminds of real aid climbing ;-)

@leyton8820 8 ай бұрын

Why wouldn't you use karabiners in your pull through? You will damage your ropes.

@TheRopeAccessChannel 8 ай бұрын

Why will the ropes damage? It is just a tight knot against a beam. The same as any other knot we use. It does not move under load. Carabiners can be cross loaded on the side of the beams. That is a real danger
