Just wanted to remind everyone about this Thursday night's night/self
evac. I haven't yet had the chance to check people off who were at the
refresher, but if you weren't, I assume you know that.
If you are planning on being there and haven't let me know, please do so,
so I can be sure to have enough instructors.
I plan on getting started right at 6 PM. We will either be using the
bunny lift or the north wall lift- depending on numbers.
A teaser- you just might see a slightly different way to rig the chair
that will prevent anyone from leaving the ground; with or without an
anchor person.
Sorry for not having been more dilligent about this, but there will be a
limited (like two or three) extra self evac rigs for people to try. If
you are interested in purchasing your own and haven't yet you will need a
figure eight, a locking carabiner, and either a harness or about 12 feet
of 1" climbing webbing, plus 150 ft. of at least 7 millimeter climbing
line. Again, if you haven't yet purchased this, it is much cheaper to
get online than a local store. I have enough for two or three to
practice/get certified on, on a first come/first serve basis.
Thanks, Keith
