Weight of equipment is often the deciding factor to determine if it is carried on an operation or not. Traditionally, rope systems are only carried when the primary mission requires them. Contingency requirements often aren’t justification enough for the extra gear. Not bringing certain equipment alters mission capability and limits the versatility of a team, including increasing risk. This leaves teams to solve high angle and confined space access, egress and rescue problems with improvisation, often without success or at extreme risk. Sometimes capabilities need to be discrete. Sometimes they need to be fast, simple and efficient. And they should always be safe.
Traditional rope systems are heavy and complex. We’ve set out to change all that. TRACE Systems is the world’s smallest and lightest comprehensive capability micro-rope system.
We are offering a 3-day course, which includes the following content exclusively with TRACE Systems:
TRACE Systems anchoring principals and systems;
Rappelling, single and two person loads;
Ascending;
Lowering systems;
Hauling systems;
Guiding lines;
Bridging/high lines (w/ reeve);
Single & two rescuer systems operations; and
Given enough interest early on, we can add an additional day of climbing systems. Please note your interest when registering.
This course is ideal for professionals interested in lightening their load while maintaining high angle capabilities and acceptable safety factors. Ideal for tactical team high angle operations, SAR, covert insertion, marine interdiction, and anywhere equipment weight and bulk in a high angle environment is a concern.
