What is new?
Scenarios are really concrete. The weight of the book is very light (165g), so it’s esay to take it in refuge.
I’ve introduced new Dyneema materials coming from the sail (Dyneem soft shackle, Dyneema strop).
Theses new product are made by Ino-Rope which is a specialist of rigging and splicing.
I’ve designe a new UTLRA-LIGHT Crevasse Rescue Kit (reduction system for double-Mariner hoists) which include a by-passing braking knots system: It is The RESCUE KIT – Mountain Essentials.
- System to set up a double Mariner unassisted hoist (mechanical advantage excluding friction over the lip of the crevasse = 3.5:1 / 90 g) made by Ino-Rope
- System to by-pass braking knots (35 g) made by Ino-Rope
- Set of Dyneema soft shackles and Dyneema strops made by Ino-Rope

A perfect primer! In a succinct and pragmatic way, with lots of quality illustration and photographs, Sebastien Constant explains the subject. Contains a – for me – novel approach to crevasse rescue equipment and setup. A handy little book, with loads of useful information.
