Building a 6:1 Drop Loop Crevasse Rescue Haul System and Modifying It for Climbing Scenarios

Continuing our glacier travel series, we are showing the 6:1 drop loop crevasse rescue haul system and discussing how to modify it to meet some of the gear we may have, the rope we have available, and the status of the fallen climber.
A video can introduce concepts and even provide tutorials, but it cannot cover all of the variable situations and context of outdoor environments. Learn about something here, but then seek qualified instruction to master it.

Two key pieces of equipment for the most efficient haul system include:
The Petzl Micro Traxion: sovrn.co/yirix75
The Petzl Tibloc: sovrn.co/pguqhmn

Hey I watch the videos pretty regularly and found this to be your least clear video. I think it needs to be slowed down or made into multiple videos

[@ShortGuysBetaWorks]

Appreciate the feedback. It is a pretty complex build, so you may be onto something with splitting it up in the future. Thanks for watching the channel and the constructive suggestion!

Hi Jason, I'm inclined to agree with Jim, but I think this mostly a matter or video length/information density. Know that the general quality of the video and the information in the description is very good!

[@ShortGuysBetaWorks]

Appreciate it. I can always try to do better, but people have to tell me what is working and what isn't, as you two did. Thanks, again! 🙏

What specific knot is that at 9:25?

[@ShortGuysBetaWorks]

I think you are talking about the overhand knot that finishes the kiwi coil?? Next week's video is all about tying in and making coil decisions for glacier travel because, frankly, your crevasse rescue system may dictate the best coil option. In all, it's an alpine butterfly to the clip-in carabiner on my harness, than a series of kiwi coils, then I pull a bight through my belay loop, wrap it around the coils to keep them in place, and then tie an overhand on a bight back on the load strand to finish: ua-cam.com/users/shortsoSiTrPOvhfQ
