Leader fall rescue - high friction rap from high anchor (practise)

Luke practises his rescue skills rapping from his high anchor, which he placed above the top piece of gear the climber fell on. From here he will attach the injured climber (kachoong)to his belay device, then set up a z-pully to lift the injured climber enough to untie him. Then lower together to the ground. Notice the munter hitch below the stich plate to provide extra friction. Photo by Phil Box (17-Oct-04)
