3 Person Alpine Crevasse rescue

This video cover the rescue of a member of a rope team of 3 or more people.
The rope work cover a mechanical advantage of 2:1 and 6:1 making this rescue possible for anyone whether the victim is able to help the rescuer or not.

I think this IS the video for rescue. I've been watching many and this covers so much good stuff clearly. Thank you!

Thank you so much. Means a lot to us.

My question is can you use both of these methods to perform a crevasse rescue in a non-snow covered environment. How would you make your anchor if you have no snow?
I am writting a book and in the story the characters are in a field of long grass where crevasses have opened up. One character fell in and now I have to figure out how they rescue her.
Wonderful video by the way! I'm learning a lot! Thank you

Thank you. On hard ice environment the anchor is composed on 2 ice acrews and i would perform a cery similar reacue then the “3 person rescue video”. Hope this helps

@@nunatakadventures66 Yes this gives me ideas! Thanks so much!

What would be the reason for not using the z pulley system in this case? And shouldnt the 3rd person be the on creating the anchor system instead of the person holding the weight?

[@nunatakadventures66]

Hi, i’ll give you few reason. Z pulley is a simple rescue usually used on the rope of the fallen climber which makes things very hard to pull. When possible (if your rope is long enough) you should always go with the fastest option which is 2:1. One important difference between z-pulley and 2:1 is that the rescuer is right above the victim, this way eliminating the friction of the edge of the crevasse and in vocal and visual contact.
To your other question: the anchor should always be built by the closest person to the fallen climber. This way you have available the most amount of rope (also the rope between 2nd and 3rd person).
