“Technical rope rescue is a calling. The technician should find satisfaction through practice alone. When the opportunity to perform a vertical rescue does come along, the technician who knows his craft will be rewarded with a job well done.”
-from “Rigging in the Vertical Realm”, Rhodes and Thorne

OMNI-AZTEC ELITE "SET-OF-FOURS"


Want more information about your Aztec kit but are afraid to ask?  Here is a full color manual showing the assembly procedure and some specifications.

Hopefully there will never be a reason to disassemble the SOF but a good technician understands how things work so he can adapt to the unexpected.

"Knot of the Day"
Bowline with Yosemite finish
Practice this knot at the station tonight while standing by between calls...
1. In the open
2. Around an object
3. Backwards
4. With your eyes closed
5. With gloves on

When the need comes to tie this knot at night in the rain and mud, it will be second nature!
