Thanks for this tutorial. Merci pour ce tuto. (Pour une info générale sur l'alpinisme voir www.objectif-montagne.ch)

Excellent video series. It's good to note that this professional guide does NOT use any sort of releasable hitch like a Munter mule. If you need a sort of releasable option or to lower the climber, all you need to do is pull up about 1 inch on your whole system, which gives enough slack to release the Petzl micro traxion or prusik, then you can lower away. The munter mule Is a specialized rescue knot that's not normally used by climbers, and odds are you're probably going to forget how to tie it years from now in a stressful rescue situation. Keep it simple and focus on what's really required not on fancy options.

Where is the video that shows how to arrest a crevasse fall?

Very quick transfer, for sure. I've always gone with a friction hitch attached with a Munter-mule in order to have the releasable option. How often this would be handy is certainly debatable but the hard knot issue remains a topic of discussion worth considering. Thanks for taking the time to produce these vids. Good stuff and keeps us thinking.

Why do many videos on YouTube use an snow anchor and not simply the ice axe as anchor? Why carry not definitely necessary weight on top of the mountain?

When he used a friction hitch to connect to the anchor, couldn’t he use a quickdraw to back that up? I’m new to climbing, is that some no-no that I’m not aware of?

On wind turbines we had a very small block and tackle system to transfer fallen person onto your line so you repel them down. So do they make anything like that for climbers?

Shouldn't you dig in this snow anchor the other way around, so that outside of the corner is facing the direction of the pull?

That was good but why don't u use jummar it's more comfort than prussick hitch

Many details are missing. You need a long releasable prusik. Thats the fastest and more secure way
