Surface Ice Kit – Compact

Designed with field workers in mind.
For accessing surface ice, one worker wears an improvised webbing harness, while their shore-based co-worker manages them on a throwbag tether. The worker will perform tests with their ice screw, allowing the shore-based worker to follow as the conditions are deemed safe.
To use this kit to perform a single-person rescue, wear an improvised webbing harness, and using an ice screw as an anchor for a throwbag tether, a rescuer can then use the two metre piece of webbing to serve as a friction hitch for safe travel along the 3/8″ throwbag line. This system allows the rescuer to reach the victim safely, fit them with an improvised webbing harness, and return to the ice screw anchor to set up their 3:1 haul system.
