Mountain guide series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since autumn 2022, the mountain guide associations of Switzerland, Austria, Germany and South Tyrol have been on board as editorial advisory boards. Since then, a contribution from these associations has appeared in every issue. The series is intended to provide information and at the same time encourage constructive dialogue, thereby indirectly developing mountain guide training further.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

(caution – automatic tranlation!) <\/em>The makeshift mountain rescue is one of the most complex and therefore riskiest topics in mountaineering in terms of rope technology, alongside the securing of traverse routes from the rear. In contrast to crevasse rescue, this topic is only briefly covered in the courses offered by alpine schools and alpine clubs and is at best offered on a voluntary basis in advanced training courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, we recommend that every committed mountaineer familiarise themselves intensively with the subject, not to avoid a rescue by professional mountain rescue services, but to make progress if professional help can only be expected after a very long delay, e.g. due to the weather. We recommend intensive dry training for all users, preferably under professional guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The makeshift nature of these techniques must also be emphasised. Some of these techniques involve increased risks, which must be weighed against the benefits in an emergency. For training, we recommend practising the techniques intensively near the ground and on solid fixed points (bolts).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, makeshift mountain rescue naturally goes hand in hand with first aid for the patient. Both are therefore taught and applied in an integrated manner on the mountain guide training courses. As first aid is well publicised (see the Alpine Emergency series<\/a>), we have not included it in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second\u00a0climber\u00a0fall\u00a0on\u00a0a\u00a0traverse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One scenario our aspirants must resolve is as follows: Your second has fallen during or just before a traverse<\/strong>, sustained an injury, and is no longer able to assist in their own rescue. A simple lower to the ground is not possible due to the terrain, and the traverse\u2014equipped with multiple clipped quickdraws (which we deliberately protect well in traverses)\u2014prevents a direct haul using a body-lift from the anchor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quickdraws in the traverse are mostly loaded by the victim’s weight, making it impossible to simply unclip them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Releasing\u00a0the\u00a0intermediate\u00a0protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rescuer (RP) must first secure the belay system with a releasable block (e.g. by tying an autoblock or mule knot on the HMS or using a belay plate secured with a knot \u2013 see Fig. 1, “module: blocked belay”). Then, RP must descend or traverse toward the victim (VP). This is best done using an improvised mountain rescue personal lanyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 120 cm sewn sling is doubled and girth-hitched into the belay loop. One strand should be approximately 15\u201320 cm longer than the other. A locking carabiner is attached to each strand using a clove hitch or girth hitch. The longer arm is clipped into a sewn, high-strength short prusik (Dyneema or Kevlar), which has been triple-wrapped around the tensioned rope to the victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shorter arm is clipped directly into the tensioned rope (see Fig. 2). This improvised setup functions like a via ferrata kit, allowing the RP to descend or traverse along the loaded rope toward the VP. With some practice, the prusik can be clipped through the carabiners of the intermediate quickdraws without removing them (see Fig. 3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Durchklippen

Illustration:\u00a0Georg\u00a0Sojer<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once the rescuer (RP) reaches the injured second (VP), they administer first aid. Afterward, the RP climbs back up to the first piece of intermediate protection. The quickdraw now needs to be unclipped while under load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, a 5\u20136 meter accessory cord is tied to the rope\u2019s single strand using a Prusik knot. The free, long end of the cord is threaded through the carabiner of the loaded quickdraw, wrapped once around the climbing rope, and threaded through the same carabiner again. The cord is then shortened and fixed to the RP\u2019s harness tie-in point using a Munter hitch with a slip knot (backup). The RP transfers full body weight onto the cord (repositioning the improvised self-belay accordingly). This effectively shortens the rope to the intermediate anchor point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If needed, the RP can push away from the wall to add extra tension. The now-unloaded quickdraw can be unclipped. The slip knot is released, and rope is gradually fed into the Munter hitch, allowing the RP \u2014 and thus the VP \u2014 to pendulum slowly into the fall line beneath the next piece of protection. (Fig. 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RP then ascends along the tensioned rope to the next quickdraw and repeats the same process until all intermediate points of protection have been removed and the RP is back at the belay stance. At this point, the rope leading to the VP runs vertically and unobstructed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

lly, extend your personal tether \u2014\u202fbut do not disconnect it. The system works like an elevator: once the RP is below the VP, the motion cannot be stopped. It only comes to a halt when the VP\u2019s knot hits the redirect pulley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Last
Fig. 7 Pumping the HMS carabiner \u2014 moving it repeatedly up and down \u2014 creates slack in the system and allows the load to be transferred onto the Micro Traxion. Illustration: Georg Sojer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now the hauling of the injured person can begin. The rescuer (RP) clips into the haul rope and uses their own body weight, together with pulling on the load strand, to lift the victim (VP). Once the extended personal tether is taut, the RP pulls themselves back up to the anchor using the progress capture device (belay plate in guide mode). This marks the start of a new hauling cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Plate
Fig. 8 \u2013 Belay plate in guide mode as a personal haul system: incredibly simple, it just needs to be set up in reverse. Illustration: Georg Sojer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The optimal working length is determined by the stand\u2019s configuration and adjusted via the tether. In steep, exposed terrain, short haul strokes are safer and more efficient. In flatter or less exposed terrain, the tether can be extended several meters if the RP can pull themselves up more easily (see Fig. 9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"K\u00f6rperhub\"
Fig. 9 \u2013 Body haul technique: When lifting a load, it\u2019s often more efficient to use body weight rather than complicated pulley systems. This also works well to briefly unload the system \u2014 for example, to detach the VP. Illustration: Georg Sojer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Just before reaching the VP, extra care is needed: it\u2019s easy to jam the VP\u2019s tie-in knot into the Micro Traxion. Before that happens, set up a releasable anchor \u2014 ideally using a prusik cord with a M\u00fcnter mule knot or a gear sling setup. Then release the load from the Micro Traxion and transfer the VP into the new anchor system (Fig. 10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Simul-rappelling with the injured person<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If the decision is made to evacuate the victim (VP) downward, everything is prepared for the 1-person rescue descent. The VP is transferred into the rescue harness (e.g. a rescue triangle or \u201crescue spider\u201d) using a releasable suspension system (see fig. 11: friction hitch on accessory cord). This system is already connected to a rope that is pre-rigged for rappelling (fig. 12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"L\u00f6sbare
    fig. 11 module releasable suspension (friction hitch on accessory cord or webbing): this allows a victim to be suspended under load in a way that can later be released \u2014 essential for unresponsive casualties, otherwise you’d constantly need to cut material or lift weight manually. Illustration: Georg Sojer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The rescuer (RP) now takes the VP onto their back and rappels together with them (fig. 13). To avoid shifting of the load during descent, the VP can be secured to the rescuer using quickdraws clipped to both harnesses. A personal safety backup \u2014 such as a short prusik or any form of hands-free backup \u2014 is mandatory for the RP. The steeper the rappel, the more efficient this technique becomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Kameradenrettung
    fig. 12 using a releasable suspension system, the VP is transferred into the rescue harness, which is already clipped into a rope rigged for rappelling. illustration: Georg Sojer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    In less steep terrain, only brute strength helps. Once at the next anchor, the VP should be secured as high as possible using the releasable suspension. If needed, the HMS can be clipped directly through a fixed anchor (fig. 14), which saves a carabiner. Once the VP is secured, the RP removes the rescue harness (rescue spider) and rappel device, retrieves the rope, and prepares it for the next pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Rettungsspinne\"
    fig. 13 module rescue spider: take a 120 cm sling, fold it in half and tie a clove hitch 10 cm off-center (resulting in a 70 cm and a 50 cm arm) onto a locking carabiner. The shorter arm is for the VP, the longer for the RP. Each arm is then clipped into a separate locking carabiner to attach rescuer and casualty. The rappel device is attached to the central carabiner. This setup keeps the casualty’s weight away from the wall and helps prevent spinning by using quickdraws to clip the VP\u2019s gear loops left and right. Demands high physical effort in low-angle terrain but works better on steep or overhanging walls. illustration: Georg Sojer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Once the rescue spider is properly rigged again, the VP is transferred into it via the releasable connection and the next rappel begins. Special care is needed near the ground: the VP should ideally be lowered into a seated position with their upper body elevated. To do this, the RP rotates away from the wall just before touching down and slowly lets both descend into a seated landing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the base of the wall, the VP can either be transported further or stabilized using an improvised backpack stretcher and kept as warm and well cared for as possible until professional rescue arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
