Inhaltsangabe

Eleven years in the making, the new second edition is the completely updated version of the original Technical Rescue Riggers Guide by Rick Lipke- The most important reference guide for modern rescue in decades.

This great new pocket reference is the most comprehensive guide available today. It shows extremely safe, modern techniques, in 196 pages, with over 500 clear illustrations and photos, from basic knots and anchors, to highlines, helo rescues, and much more! All printed in full color on high tech storm proof/tear resistant paper. Completely cross referenced with handy safety reminders throughout. The first edition sold over 150,000 copies and became the defacto world standard for safe, intelligent rope rescue. This new second edition will set the new standard. This is not an instructional text, but rather a quick pocket reference guide for personnel already trained and familiar with modern rope rescue.

A portion of the sale of this guide goes to support volunteer mountain rescue.
