Blue Mountains Climber's Rescue Group

Report - Practice Day 6/12/05
30+ people turned up to Mt York and we ran a number of lower and hauls on the 20m cliffs in the area. Most were done using edge rollers and for a couple we used the Larkin Frame. Duting this exercise we tried placing the litter attendant above the litter tnad this worked well - it seems easier to deal with overhangs yet due to our means of attachement (using ascenders and being tied to the tail of the rescue line) the attendant still has plenty of flexibility to move around during the lift or lower. We'll add a diagram to the litter attendant page soon.


The next prac day will be scheduled for mid February - watch the site for an exact date.
