Assisted Rescue (Pick-Off Rescue) Procedure:
- Invert the anchor carabiner and attach it to the victim's front harness attachment point.
- Connect the opposite carabiner to a secure anchor point.
- Ensure the system is oriented correctly for assisted rescue.
- If the descender is at or above the rescuer’s head, use a redirect to position the brake end of the escape line appropriately.
Training is required before use—failure to receive proper training from a RIT certified trainer could result in injury and or death
