What should I do if my RAD LINE cord has sheath slippage?
Your RAD LINE cord has sheath slippage and you still want to use it... Follow the steps below to extend the life of your RAD LINE.
RAD LINE: small-diameter hyperstatic cord
The cord sold with the RAD SYSTEM was carefully chosen to be suitable for the intended uses, while being compact and lightweight. Its specific qualities limit its application: it is not as versatile as a normal mountaineering rope.
Setting up a rappel during a ski descent
On a ski descent, a non-skiable section may require rappelling. It is often necessary to improvise an anchor using natural features.
Who carries the rope in a group of skiers?
When traveling unroped, the rope must be ready to be effectively deployed in case of an accident. Without going to the point of pre-installing a haul system in a pack, and without overloading the skiers with excessive equipment, it is necessary to anticipate the risks that will be encountered on the planned route, in order to distribute the equipment in a logical manner.
Helping a partner during a ski descent
The second skier carries rope and equipment to create an anchor and belay, to be able to help the first skier in case of difficulty.
What is the RAD SYSTEM used for?
Kit with thin hyperstatic cord for rappelling, crevasse rescue and roped glacier travel.
