This is another video aimed at LCMLA and CIC candidates, but could be equally useful to any vertical caver. In the video I demonstrate a method for swapping a loaded line between a belay device, like a Petzl RIG, and a progress capture pulley, like a Mini Traxion. This technique allows you to go from a high friction belay device to a low friction haul system without you needing to lower the casualty down to the floor and then rerig the system.

Many thanks for watching. Please leave a comment if you have any feedback or suggestions for future videos. If you find the films useful, consider subscribing and sharing as that really helps others find these films.
